People in California, Reg Reagan, and Washington Washington saw them in what some call the “most amazing” fireball ball they’ve ever seen. Fireball, a meteor that struck the atmosphere, was spotted on the evening of October 23. Hundreds of people witnessed the incident, heading to the International Meteorological Organization (IMO) to report their observations.
David told the IMO: “It was incredible.”
Explaining his experience, Debra said: “The falling object was so green and dramatic that I started screaming at the passenger in my car – ‘Oh, my God – look, look at that …’
“Then I saw it cut into a few pieces, and kept trying to see how much my passengers were helping me to drive.
“Then I wondered if it could be a firecracker, but I’m sure it’s a meteor, and came home and started checking the computer for other reports. It was definitely green.”
Julie said: “I was in my vehicle and moment by moment I fell straight down and came straight in front of me.
“For one to two seconds, it was as bright as a full moon.”
Marcia said: “In my 63 years of repeated flashing and meteor life, I have never seen a comet come close to this size.
“I almost thought it was a full moon before, but it’s a crescent moon and this was big, shining and falling.

Air enters the rock holes, pushes it and explodes it.
The IMO said: “Fireballs are meteors that look brighter than usual. They have the ability to produce a bright flash in pieces larger than a millimeter, due to the velocity that accelerates the Earth’s atmosphere, as it goes up into the sky above.
“These brilliant meteors we call fireballs and they always evoke fear and awe for those who witness them.”
