Hi
I live in Kingston, Ontario. This morning at about 12:50 I looked out my rear window and saw a huge fireball dropping almost vertically through overcast skies, disappearing behind a ridge to the west. It had an enormous tail, almost as thick as the fireball itself. Holding my hand at arm\'s length for comparison, it was as long as the width of my palm. Both the head of the fireball and the tail were lit up with a blueish/greenish light.
The trajectory of the fireball was from left to right. That is, although the descent was almost vertical, it did have a slight curve that rounded out on the right side. As I was looking to the west, that would mean it had come from the south or south/east.
I took a drive to the west along Taylor-Kidd Boulevard, stopping on a rail overpass bridge to check for fires or emergency activity ( it was THAT close!) but saw none. I got as far as the dock for the Amherst Island ferry before turning back. I talked with a couple of constables who had stopped beside the road ( speed-trap ) and asked them if anyone had reported a fireball, but they were not aware of any. Not too surpising, since there was almost noone out and about.
Anyway, I was glad to find this site to share my info on.
Cheers,
Brian |
