Telegraph: “There was sudden flash. Like an orange stripe in the sky, followed by a very bright explosion where the sky lit up as if it was daytime."

Totally the fault of the previous administration.

Is it just me or are we seeing more and more meteors going through our atmosphere or near missing the Earth? I have to wonder……..

I saw the one in Salt Lake last week. Lit the night up brighter than noon.

Cool video.
Too bad we never saw it coming.
Makes ya wonder why we only watch a tiny percentage of the sky.

Pretty cool.

Uh.. Veritas did it occur to you that MAYBE it has something to do with the fact that there are an exponentially higher number of security and other types of CCTV cameras pointed at everything, including the sky, these days? Duh.

Good one Useyerbrain – that’s exactly what I was thinking.

2012 is JUST around the corner…. Things that fly through the sky CAN come down and go BOOM!

Keep on eye on the sky!
