People were calling police and radio station saying I AM NOT CRAZY

I heard about this yesterday it sounds like it must have been really something to see, quite scary too. I think from what I read yesterday it was confirmed as being a meteor I wonder if it landed anywhere or whether it just carried on its merry way through space! You were certainly lucky to see something like that I have never seen anything like that!

Yeah, I read about that this morning. It's crazy to think it can happen so quickly and with no warning at all. We're just lucky it didn't hit a populated area. I guess we should be saying our prayers tonight eh?

That must have been a great experience, and a bit scaring too.. I have never seen anything like that yet, but read about what happened on the text TV and made a search. I posted a discussion about it and a link to some news. The same site also has great space photos..

oh my God I never heard about that, did you here anymore about it?

Wow I can imagine how exciting that must have been. I can't ever remember seeing anything like that ever.

Hi Grandmaof2, I have heard about it and they are saying that it was a meteor. Scientists are hoping to locate it but it will be difficult as it was said to be small and could have fallen anywhere on the prairies. Since it a piece of another planet, Scientists believe it may be as much as 4 billion years old and I'm sure they could learn a lot from it. Blessings

I had not heard about this. My mom lives in Tofield and works in Edmonton. I'll have to ask her if she saw or heard anything.

wow that would be strange. I hope no one was hurt and it didnt do much damage. You would think there would be some notice that something like this would happen.

how exciting that must have been.... shocking to say the least. I wonder if you found pieces of the meteor if you could sell them on ebay, heh. I have seen showers (lots of "falling stars" but never experienced them in any close vicinity to myself. WoW!

I have not seen a meteror shower or one hit! But I bet you did get to see something amazing! Did you get a picture?

That really must have been something to see, Grandma! I've never witnessed anything like that before but, when I was in the Caribbean, the amount of "shooting stars" was awesome! I never knew that there were so many meteors coming into our atmosphere! Of course, most of them burn up before ever hitting the ground. I'm very curious to hear more about "your" meteor! I was totally floored by a bolt of lightning once, however. I was driving on an interstate highway when lightning struck somewhere directly ahead of us. It was HUGE and lit up the entire sky, like your experience. I never saw so many brake lights going on at the exact same moment before in my life! But, this was definitely lightning because we could see it come down and attach itself to something on the ground for maybe 2 seconds! Awesome!!!

Hi grandmaof2! Wow! That must have been really scary! No, I have never seen a meteor shower! It must have been really weird not knowing what it was! I'll bet people were really scared to see it. I hope that no one was hurt by it. I can't imagine just suddenly seeing a flash of light like that and not having a clue to what it could be!

I've seen several meteor showers but nothing fell close to me.

This was on the news since last night. Apparently it was a large meteor that was in the meteor showers that occur periodically. One news item states it was between 1 and 10 tons and could have been the size of a desk. I guess we are lucky it was not a really big one. I heard it turned the night sky into dayligt for a few seconds. I often wonder too what they are worth if you are able to find one. You can sell almost anything these days from fossil dinosaur poop to crystals. I guess the hard part would be to establish ownership of the item.

I'm not sure if there is ever one here I think we've had something (i forgot what is it called) like ice rain instead of water, it's just mild but I can hear it hits the roof and it scares me a bit It must be small because if it were big bulk of ice it would hurt people and damage cars or machinery

i suppose it could be ball lightening,but unlikely. ball lightning never lights up the whole sky. does sound like a meteor. i've seen some at a distance,but never up close like that.

Wow, no never experienced anything like that. I imagine that shook you up, just as our west coast earthquakes do us.

I never have but I wish that I did. It sounds like quite a memorable experience!

I was visiting with a friend and we both stopped talking when it happened. I thought it might be a falling star she thought spotlights for poachers and her husband figured flares for poachers in the field on the other side of the tree line. When i got to moms she said she had seen it too and shes 10 miles from where i was visiting...so i knew it wasnt flares or poachers. I had to wait til the next day to find out what it really was though.

Wow, that is some weird and freaky stuff. I know I'd be freaked out. I'd probably question my sanity a little. This is really strange, yet impressive, somehow.
