    was not outside at the time and dont remember anything loud but all i can say is it was one of the clearest nights we have had in awhile. kinda reminds me of a central america clear night but i think it possiblity has to do with a windshift frontal line or coincidently the front went through at the same time this "ball of orange" fell from the sky...

    anyone hear anything in vb obx de?

    I've seen something like this a long time ago. It looked like a fireball streaking through the sky with different colors. My guess is its a meteor.

    The Russians are coming. . .(ibid)

    <<(March 30) - The mysterious boom and flash of light seen over parts of Virginia Sunday night was not a meteor, but actually exploding space junk from the second stage of a Russian Soyuz rocket falling back to Earth, according to an official with the U.S. Naval Observatory.>>
