Astronomy experts are appealing for witnesses to an extremely rare fireball believed to have blazed across the morning sky.

The spectacular sight, which star-gazers claim happened just before dawn on Monday, is being attributed to a massive meteor shower currently taking place over the northern hemisphere.

"The fireball is really very special and unusual," Astronomy Ireland chairman David Moore said.

Pentagon to deny scientists access to meteors data
Published 18 June 2009

There was an unofficial arrangement between the Pentagon and top U.S. scientists: the Pentagon’s missile-launch and nuclear-blast detection satellites are also great for spotting meteors as they flame out in the Earth’s atmosphere, and the Pentagon shared the latter information with scientists; the Pentagon says it will no longer do so

This cannot be good news: A new rule by the U.S. Department of Defense will deny U.S. top scientific the ability to check out data from classified satellites on incoming meteors hurtling toward earth.

To be on the safe side, do not investigate the impact site.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
