Hi Pepper,

I've seen a few over the last several years -- one on my way home from work heading north on 93 in Hooksett. Out of the northwest it came...huge trail behind it. While it seemed like it was close, I read online the next day that it landed in northern Canada somewhere. I also saw one -- again while commute home, heading north -- that was visible due north.

Many years ago -- probably early 80s or thereabouts -- I was on the boathouse and saw a huge greenish fireball fall, seeming to land on the other side of Rattlesnake. It was one of the most magnificent things I've ever seen. But that was also probably hundreds of miles away. But what a show!

I just checked online and couldn't find anything specific, but did find this link. If you scroll down a bit, it shows the recent meteorites...it is updated to April 9, so in a few days it may list what you saw. ;-)
