well last night around 5:30 the sky throughout saskatchewan and alberta lit up. a metiorite had flown overhead. it was pitch black out and all of a sudden you could see like it was sunlight out. it was really bright were i live. they figure the thing fell just south of our town. check out this link for some videos of it. http://www.nowpublic.com/world/massive-fireball-falls-south-lloydminster-alberta

now emagine being right underneath it when it lit up. it was the biggest talk around here today. some stupid people in town phoned the police. som many people called the police that they had to release a press release saying not to phone them. anyway thought you might find it interesting. if you search metiorite in lloydminster on google there is a lot more articles. oh it also shook the houses like a mini earthquake. enough to knock pictures off the walls. at first everyone thought it was lightning but seemed a little wierd for the middle of november.

I saw that on the news.....they said the odds of seeing that were about the same as winning the lottari.

Scientist said it was no bigger than a basketball......sure did light up the sky for something that size!

well they are some scientists that claim they found some pieces of this thing. there were scattered bit across the ice on a lake just south or town. some scientist is offering $12000 for a 1kg chunk of this thing.
