Did You See the Meteor Last Night?

The American Meteor Society has received 330 reports about a fireball seen over Rockland County— in fact, seen from Maine to Maryland at around 6:40 p.m. Dec. 29.

“Saw it out of my north-facing window, assumed it was just a firework,” said a Piermont resident who had second thoughts and reported it to the AMS.

“It seemed very bright compared to anything else I have seen around here,” wrote a Bronxville resident.

The geometric impact point was located southwest of Carlisle, NY, the AMS said.

“Very cool experience,” said a Goldens Bridge resident.

If you saw it, share your experience in the comments. Also, you can report it to the AMS. You can see individual reports at: Report #3638 for 2014.
