In the early hours this morning, people that were awake and looking up at the sky in the northeastern United States and far eastern Canada were treated to a magnificent display as a meteorite burned up in the atmosphere, brightening the entire sky for a second as it went.
The American Meteor Society, which reported the event and compiled images and videos taken by night owls and people lucky enough to have dash cams or web cams pointing in the right direction at the right time.

Chris Christie had Mexican last night.
felt and heard it about 1.00 a.m est in the NEK of Vermont/ house shook thought a black bear was at humming bird feeder //yes we have hummers arrived 5-14-16
That’s how zombies get started.
Lol! Same thought I had!
Me and a buddy were smacking super balls with a bat when we noticed a bright light moving across the sky. Looked eerie as it was silent and while faster than a plane, it didn't give the impression of great speed (probably too high as it went over us). News folks said it had hit down in marsh land at the northern limits of the city (Lake Ontario is the USA/Canadian border there) and that crews were out searching for any remains.
Pretty neat to be at the right place and time to witness it.
I forgot myself, almost started to root for it make it through. ;') Thanks sparklite2.
