    I saw that on Yahoo the other day. I can't imagine seeing that first hand! I'd probably be flashing back to Bruce Willis riding an asteroid and think the worst.

      I actually saw a fireball years ago during the day ... I didn`t know what
      it was till a few days after when I heard about it on the radio.

      I was on my lunchbreak at work, doing farmwork at that time and I
      was in the asparagas shed (had no walls) I had finished eating and
      was <ahem> having a smoke ....... I just happened to look up as a
      brilliant greenish flash lit the daytime sky up.

      I thought "K .. that was a gooood smoke!" :rolleyes:

      Only lasted a couple of seconds ... the boss & family were away so
      I was there alone running the place ... noone I spoke to after work
      had seen it so I "forgot" about it ... then I was working up a block
      of asparagas with the tractor few days later, radio blaring and some
      space expert was on talking about it.

      So has anyone else ever seen a fireball live, day or night?

      They found the debris from the meteorite.

      VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Searchers have found the remains of a 10-ton meteor that produced a dramatic fireball in the skies over the Canadian Prairies this month, researchers said on Friday.

      Thousands of meteorite fragments have been found densely strewn over a 20-square-kilometre (8 square mile) area south of the community of Lloydminster on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, according to the University of Calgary.

    One much like this one went overhead during the early evening in my town when I was around 12. Scared everyone crapless for a few hours. That was during the days when everyone was expecting Russia to try to melt us down, LOL. It was spectacular, though.
