WARREN, Ohio - If you saw a fireball streaking through the sky Wednesday night, you aren't alone.

Callers contacted the 21 Newsroom and reported sightings of what some described as a large meteor.

Nicole Hopkins posted on our Facebook page that she saw it above Warren at 8:30 p.m., and described it as “absolutely huge.”

Fallon Gifford was driving home in Cortland, and writes that it looked very close.

There are also reported sightings in Farrell, Pennsylvania and Hanoverton in Columbiana County.

Jennifer Bell, who says she saw it while driving from Warren to Cortland thought she was going crazy for a minute.

According to a website that records such phenomena, Jennifer was not going crazy.

Mike Hankey, an amateur astronomer, meteor observer and volunteer for the American Meteor Society, reports more than 100 sightings during a one hour period.

Witnesses reported seeing a bright glowing ball moving across the skies over Maryland, Virginia Delaware, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ohio, Michigan and Ontario.

Hankey writes that calculating the trajectory from the witness reports, it appears the fireball started in the northern part of New York state and traveled almost due west.

Many witnesses described an increasing intensity before it disappeared, which Hankey writes is a common trait of bolide meteors.

According to NASA Near Earth Object Program, Fireballs and bolides are astronomical terms for exceptionally bright meteors that are spectacular enough to be seen over a very wide area.
