I just saw a bright ball, rather large travel slower than a shooting star but fast at an angle headed towards the ground. I mean it was pretty big. Kind of like putting a 50 cent coin on your window, that is how big it was! It was a brilliant white light... I wonder if anyone else saw it or not!! It is 3 am so it happened around well, 3:01am
I saw it sort of in the sw sky of Rochester. I live on the North side so my bedroom window faces south. Anyone see it too?

My son & his friend just saw what they described as a really large shooting star over our house to the southeast. They describe it as being bright white with an orange trail. About 8:30-8:45pm Wednesday, December 26, 2007. Could it be a meteor?
