“durn glowball gave us no warning!”
That was my first thought. The second thought was, how many others might there be if that's the case? The third thought is, do I want to spend the day in the studio or outside with a camera?
Ah...The GOOD ol’ Days!
I hear ya.
Me too.
For some reason I can’t stream all of the videos, but the one item I was referring to was the video clip where the ground shook and the windows rattled several long moments after the streak passed overhead. I believe any explosion or impact took place miles away from where that video was filmed.
Sure. This is history no matter what else it might be.
Looking at all the craters on the moon is scary. We are a bigger target.
Not sure what we can do if a really big one is on a collision course. Our space program is almost non-existent.
Russia: Earth’s meteor fly paper.
Correct.
It's just science. Since we evil humans are trapping our heat underneath all of that excess CO2 that we are creating the side effect is that, from outer space, the earth looks "cool".
It is well known that "cool" attracts teenage girls. It less well known that it also attracts meteorites.
When will we learn that you can't mess around with Mother Nature?
It’s an Autobot landing! Where’s Optimus?

Commentator says most injuries were from shattering glass. People ran to the window to look at the meteor, then the windows shattered.
Reminds me of the beginning of the “Day of the Triffids” movie.
Who cares? Marco Rubio spilled water on himself.
What. An. Idiot.
IT’S IN REVELATIONS PEOPLE!
(cue the cheesy elevator music and the “Technical Difficulties - Please Stand By” Screen)
Might not be a bad idea to check my "prep" supplies.
And take a shower :)
Hmmm...yeah, just finally saw some videos with sound. The meteor trail cloud looks like it might have blown up over that location, though. IT was so high up there is going to be a long time delay.
Could be the sonic boom - sounds like one, I was buzzed by an F-15 at low altitude fishing once.
The detonation when the flash occurs was pretty massive, though.
Stop.
That’s because nothing is more important in this country than sports Sports SPORTS!!!
If there was only one legitimate function of government, it would be to prevent the end of humanity in an asterorid impact.
I hope this incident at least gets real money behind asteroid detection and mitigation planning efforts like Rusty Schweikart's B612 group, and stop people from laughing at it.
