I live in northern Harford County. On the evening of 12/29/10,(last night) at about 8:27, I saw a blue-white falling (not shooting) star low in the WNW horizon. It just fell straight down. It had a long-ish, bright white tail. Did anyone else see this? What was it?
FR: Sounds like the same object reported above by Lisa Schaefer, Erin Brown and Scott. They all reported the meteor moving to the WNW horizon sometime between 8:15 and 8:20 p.m. Wednesday. Clearly another fireball, similar to the Tuesday night object. Kerry Meushaw, above, reported what was probably a third at 8:48 p.m.

Saw the glow of a fireball through my curtains around 11 pm last night, bluish green, with random changes in brilliance.
I live in Bowie, MD -- and the direction was NW area.
