    Holy Crap! What a thing to see. If it wasn't related to DA14, then it was one hell of a coincidence.

    Doesn't look like it burned up all the way (if Google is translating correctly)

    Damn, they haven't reported any deaths as of yet, hopefully it'll remain that way.

    Not until the Aliens bust out of it at least.

    Ok, I found another site that says the damage in those pics I posted above was caused by the shock wave, not the meteor itself.

    Again, :eek:

    On a more serious note - something like that is a good way to make you suddenly feel very small and insignificant... Random sh@t falls from the sky at hundreds of miles an hour and there's not a thing you can do about it...

    Can you imagine that? I'm pretty sure the first thing going through my mind would be "shit, those stupid North Koreans figured it out."


    On a side note, that Russia is one bleak looking place. Looks like western PA.

    Can you imagine that hitting earth square at that speed. That would really do some damage.

    I don't think its the actual meteor itself, is it? Usually its just a smaller chunk of the larger one.

    Russia seems to be Earth's meteorite magnet.

    Got me, all I know is that the reports I read basically said we can stop worrying and everyone can all go back to their regularly scheduled programs.

    The real one is closest to Earth somewhere around 2:30 Eastern, if I remember right... Its the size of a football field or two.

    This meteor did not originate from the asteroid that is going to pass roughly 17k miles from earth. They had completely different orbits
