Pretty spectacular — and a little frightening, one might imagine, if one of these streaked across your field of vision.  Russia Today’s English-language service reports on the phenomenon observed over the last several hours, which also shattered windows in the Urals region as the meteor exploded in the atmosphere (via The Corner):

“New evidence provided by the former Soviets indicate it was a meteor shower that killed 10s of millions in the Communist error, NOT the policies and orders of Stalin and his ilk!”

Wonder why Russia seems to be in a meteor path?

Sort of one hot hunker coming in low.

Wonder why Russia seems to be in a meteor path?

The country is 8 time zones across, it's a big target.

Imagine living in a city where most of the windows are blown out, and it’s the middle of winter. In Russia, getting your window fixed soon would require a bribe.
