Fireball Reported From Various Locations of Pennsylvania
During the evening of 10-02-01, I received reports that fireball sightings were reported from Warren County, PA near the New York line. One witness I interviewed, said that she saw a huge blazing orange ball of fire moving north. During the evening I learned that other similar reports originated from Armstrong and Mercer Counties. I was also told that emergency centers near Youngstown, Ohio received many sighting reports. A resident of Allegheny County, near Pittsburgh, had knowledge that police in that area also received reports of something moving across the sky. I also interviewed a witness from Latrobe, PA in Westmoreland County, who watched a big orange-red ball of fire "as bright as the moon" followed by a glowing tail which tapered off in thickness. I am awaiting additional data concerning this event. I would appreicate being notified of any other fireball or aerial phenomena reported on this night from around the country.
