It was like watching a slow moving shooting star. Very colorful.

People are watching too many sci fi movies.

I was walking my dog, just out of the corner of my eye, I saw what I thought was a firecracker....a blue streak, but no whistle and no pop...then it faded away. It was so strange....I teach 8th grade Science, and I have to admit I thought I had seen a meteor...

I saw one about 11 years ago over Manayunk from 76. While on my home from dinner in center city. I must have been one of the few people who saw it because there was nothing on the news about it the next morning.

If it was "slow moving" compared to what one normally sees as a shooting star,
then there is a good chance you actually saw was a satellite falling out of orbit.

My mother and I saw it while we were out for a walk, and it was definitely more slow-moving then the shooting stars I have seen. We used to go to the beach for the Perseid meteor shower and those shooting stars were also much, much smaller than what we saw today.

Pretty neat that the universe has new things to experience all the time!

The universe has neat things to offer all the time.

I seen it thought it was a shining star so I made my wish real quick

I saw this great blue flash of light just as the turd fell from my dog he started barking and ran into the woods when I caught him there was this brown being with long fingers eating reeses pieces I still cant believe it was riding a bike and everything.

I was walking in the carol Lane/Arch rd area when a greenish-blue object went from west to east for several seconds and then vanished in the skies.

My son and I just got home in Harleysville as we were getting out of the car he looked at the sky and said "dad look!" We saw what looked like a large, slow moving, shooting star that was blue and orange in color.

I was playing basketball with my friends last night when I looked up I saw what looked like a comet. It had a red-orange long tail and was white. It was awesome! The time was about 7:55pm.

Wake up people. It was a drone attack perpetrated by our government to kill Americans on our own soil. They want you to think it was a meteor and you're all buying into it. My neighbor's cousin's little sister's friend saw it take off from the air base in Horsham. You heard it here first.

I saw it about 8:00 PM last night over IHM's Rectory after leaving the Sacred Heart Chapel.

Blind dog crawl back into your underground bomb shelter and keep the anti american comments to yourself. People like you are the first in line for food stamps or free services as you bash the hand that feeds you. If you dont like living here in america then go try living in the middle east or africa and then lets see what you have to say about this great nation that we take for granted.

I saw it also. It was a like a fireball," bright yellow", with a trailing tail with debris breaking off, then it exploded. It was 7:56 PM and it seemed as if it was going south from over Chester County Prison then exploded in back of Pocopson Nusing Home. No, I never have seen or reported anything like this before, it was spectacular!! Donna M.

thats what I thought blind dog bow down.

Rich, my comment was merely mocking the people who were posting just as ridiculous comments in the article about drones being piloted out of the air base in Horsham: http://horsham.patch.com/articles/new-mission-coming-to-horsham-air-guard-station Sorry you didn't get it. The comment you made to me is basically the same exact thing I said to the people in there. Do everyone a favor and lose the Internet Tough Guy outfit, you don't wear it well and it might help you look a little less like a jackass.

"...other social media outlets of a meteor-like object visibly re-entering the Earth's atmosphere ..."

So you are presuming this object originated on Earth? Because for it to be "re-entering" the Earth's atmosphere, it would have had to have already been in the Earth's atmosphere. That rules out a meteor...

I was driving to Pottstown from Chambersburg on the turnpike and saw it. Thought it was a shooting star.

Oh, OK. Gotcha. I'm impressed.

@Rick. I could tell Blind Dog's comment was sarcastic/funny. He was mocking the conspiracy theorists who never trust the government and think everyone is out to get them. There are quite a few of those people who post here. Was it the funniest thing I ever read, no, but it was amusing. I didn't LOL, but I chuckled. We need more humor on these pages - and everywhere. People are so angry, judgemental, and ready to attack. Humor and laughing is what makes life worth living - at least to me.

Believe me ive been laughing the whole time. Just not as funny when you lose your parents in the 9/11 crap. Sorry for my comments they were a bit brash and selfish.

My goodness...how I wish we could work together to keep our country great!
