Dart-like craft emerged from tail of a fireball On 03/14/2010 at approx. 1:45 PM I was driving northbound on hwy 49 coming into Florence MS. Out of the northeastern sky a fireball appeared heading straight down for the ground.
It burned with a bright green flame through a partly cloudy sky. Out of the trailing tracer behind the fireball a dart shaped craft appeared. It was silver or gray with no tail rudder and appeared to be standing still then suddenly began moving southeast perpendicular to the ground.
It suddenly picked up speed and disappeared into the horizon leaving behind a light white beam-like tracer that quickly faded. Everyone on the road and in the vicinity saw the fireball/meteorite because traffic slowed down, several people swerved to avoid hitting each other. The meteorite made the local news but I have not seen any reports of the craft that emerged from it.
I'm sure most were focused on the fireball because it was spectacular and the craft could have been mistaken for a low flying airplane. I have played the event back over and over in my head and the craft was definitely not an airplane, helicopter, or other known type of terrestrial aircraft. I am a chef/bartender that has lived in MS most of my life.
I do not use drugs or alcohol.

Green flash then witness high altitude slow moving large fireball trajectory intersected by Explosion in the dark cloudless sky early this morning. It was at high elevation and appeared to be over Terry, MS (although that may be a bad guess). It took place @ 6:00am + - 5min.
There was an initial bright greenish flash. It lit my up driveway and my first thought was lightening, but upon looking up, I was met by this odd spectacle. what I witnessed was a ball of fire that slowly traveled a short distance across the sky leaving a large smoke trail before it exploded.
No audible evidence of the explosion ever presented itself. A friend of mine saw the same event while out jogging in Vicksburg, MS. He said it looked like it was heading almost straight down from his perspective 50mi away from Florence.
As for viewing angle, he said it appeared to be approximately E @ a 45deg up from the horizon. From my perspective in Florence, it was headed SE on a slow trajectory and lasted approximately 10sec. My viewing angle put it approximately WSW @ 80deg up from the horizon.
In addition, what looked like a shooting star traveling SW at high speed intersected where the burning object would have been if it hadn't exploded a fraction of a second earlier. Really looked like an airplane was being shot down by missiles. Can't imagine what else it might have been.
It certainly didn't appear to be a meteor judging by past experience. Rather unnerving.

saw a shiney object moving from west to east and i was looking north.it had no sound. at 11:30am on monday Oct.
25th-99 my wife and i and the 15mo old neighbors were on our back patio when the baby looked up because he heard a airplane he was looking south and the sun was in his eyes so he couldn't see so i picked him up and turned around so that when the jet (small like a comuter type)passed us he could see it because the sun would be to our back .when the jet got into view i saw a shiny object going west to east in the path that the jet would cross but it was much higher than the jet . I told my wife to look at the object and she did.
I put the baby down and went to get my binoculars which is a 7x35 extra wide Switf sportking.I looked at the object and it was disc or round i couldn't see because i wasn't holding the binoculars steady., so i braced them against a pole and i could see that the object looked like it was changeing shape to a triangle type then it went behind trees.
The sky was very blue and clear.
