Title: Video: Large Meteor Strikes Canada
Post by: roy-nexus-6 on November 24, 2008, 05:15:29 AM
By large, it was maybe a meter or 2 in diameter, I guess.

But the interesting thing is this: if you were in this car, there is no way for you to know the size of this thing - and whether or not it is gonna obliterate everything for 1000 square miles (including you).

Crikey - if you'd seen that in person that might be a pant wetter.  The sky filling flash of light sure gives the impression something bad's about to happen.

Ever been out that way? It's just thousands of square miles of wilderness, like most of Canada. I'm sure there are planes they still haven't found out there.

When I worked nights on aircraft in NJ, we'd have the occasional meteor shower.  There was one just like that and it was just about on top of us.  My heart stopped a good minute after I had screamed like a school girl.  Huge flash...greenish color. 

It came so fast at us we all threw our hands up to protect us (like that was going to do anything).

That's what I thought when I saw the video... end of the world type shit.

I was inside when it happened and was completely oblivious, it supposedly went down about an hour's drive from my parents' place and like NeufUnSix said, they aren't gonna gonna find it out there.
