Ok. Seriously. This is neat. Likely a meteorite falling to the earth but pretty impressive.

Linus,

There is a site for geeks that NASA has. Have you found that site? It is rather intreging I must say.

Linus · 04-15-2010, 01:49 PM

Which one are you thinking of, Andrew?

Andrew, Jr. · 04-15-2010, 01:51 PM

It shows the Hubble Telescope, and what is in space. The astronaunts give talks (past and present) about what it is like to travel in space, what they see/saw, and that type of thing. It is quite interesting. Another one is the military site (but I am not familiar with that one). It is run by ret. military folks. And it has footage that they took during different wars, & battles. Someone online here told me about it. I saw it, but forgot to write it down.

Ah, ok. I think I know which one you're talking about. It's interesting that NASA had no idea about the fireball. It was the weather service that picked this one up (on Doppler radar no less)

Linus,

If you have access to an am/fm/sw emergency radio you can listen to the NOAA forecast all the time.

Clearly it was a drive-by done by a group of visitors from outer space who didn't get the memo about only doing this stuff in rural areas where only a handful of easy to discredit folks will see them.

The volcano eruptions on Iceland have certainly challenged the airlines but the photos seen here are amazing! Definitely need to check them out.
