FWIW, even tiny meteorites the size of your fist can create this type of blidning light.

Are we going to be able to see this in North America at all? If so, is there a website or something that gives an approximate time of flyover? Those vids are frightening, really... Still, would stay up all night/day looking at the sky for a chance to see it... (I’m in WI)

Your asking if sometime on Friday, does North America cross this possible debris line?

That is a very very good question

A meteor doesn’t become a meteorite until it hits the earth.

On one of the vids you definitely see it detonate in the sky, on another one of the vids you don't see it detonate, but hear 2 distinct explosions, big’uns by the sound recorded.

The asteroid would only be a moving point of light crossing the field of view in a good amateur telescope.

“That is a very very good question”

Don’t know if it will, don’t know if it won’t, but I’ve got some 00 buck in the ol’ 12 gauge, just in case;)
