A meteorite? Or is that just a cover story for an attempted terror attack? Could have been a high explosive charge. We'll never know because the state-controlled media will never tell us!

The fireball I’ve seen would mean certain doom for our planet if it collided. Even a relative difference of 5-10% closer or farther would tremendously affect life here.

It was probably a meteror. It doesn’t become a meteorite until it ends up on earth. Learned that from Meteorite Men on the Science channel. lol

I saw that last night. It was around 10:00 p.m. CST. I was in the house and thought it was lightning.

It was quite spectacular!

That video from UW-Madison is cool, thanks.

Methinks it was an ominous warning to that Wisconsin federal judge who ruled that National Prayer Day is unconstitutional.

Keep Watching The Skies! Last line in 1952 saucer movie The Thing From Another World. Unknown actor James Arness played the vegetable monster from Mars.

You’re welcome - a coworker sent it to me.

And I doubt if any liberals in Madistan will get the message - they will look for a way to blame it on “Climate Change” or, at the very least, Palin or Bush. :-)
