I heard your report on Art Bell radio show of the east coast sighting. I just wanted you all to know that I witnessed it myself here in Florence while driving home from work. I thought at first it was a meteor but it moved quickly from west to east and was 100 times bigger than any meteor I have ever seen. It was absolutely amazing and when I heard your report I got chills!

It was an enormous white fireball moving west to east at a low altitude unlike a typical meteor.

NUFORC Note:

We are intrigued by the report. The large meteor over South Carolina and Georgia occurred on 09NO99, and was seen traveling from east to west.
