Brilliant Colorful Meteor Reported Over Westmoreland County Pennsylvania and Elsewhere-June 7, 2020.
There were apparently numerous reports around Westmoreland County, the Pittsburgh area, and from other states last night reporting what is believed to have been a brilliant meteor crossing the sky last night. The observations occurred around 9:45 PM local. One report from an observer in the Latrobe area told me that what he saw looked like a very bright tear drop shaped object that was a turquoise green color. The object appeared to be moving toward the west and looked as though it was dropping in altitude.
So far I have not seen any data suggesting reentering space debris for this date and time. While no major meteor shower was expected during this time period, a sporadic meteor event can happen at any time. The American Meteor Society- (https://www.amsmeteors.org/) reported numerous sightings from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, and other states for this event.
I am interested in hearing from anyone who saw the meteor in the Greater Pittsburgh area. You can contact me at 724-838-7768 or via email at paufo@comcast.net. You can also report UFO sightings and other strange incidents as well.
Over the last few months some UFO sightings have been reported that are interesting and not so easily explained.
