Massive meteor (or something) spotted over Edmonton
Saturday, November 22, 2008
Wow, a story about what appears to be a pretty big meteor spotting all of a sudden. Very interesting. Here's one article from CBC:
A bright light lit up the sky around 5:30 MT Thursday evening in Western Canada, with people reporting sightings in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
People telephoned the CBC newsrooms in Edmonton and Calgary to talk about what they saw.
"It was a really big flash, lit up the sky, and there was this huge, flaming fireball falling from the sky," said Rowyn Windsor, 12, who lives on the Canadian Forces base in Cold Lake, Alta., about 350 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.
"This huge light in our kitchen window lit up our whole kitchen," said Sabrina Schneider, who lives just outside Lloydminster on the Saskatchewan-Alberta border. "It kinda flashed a couple of times. It was really bright. It was a different light than lightning.
And there's also a video here of the fireball taken from a police car:
