I saw the white flash through my blinds as I was on the computer. I looked over and thought to myself, "Hmm, that's kind of odd. Usually car headlights aren't that bright."
The following picture was taken at the height of the explosion - in the middle of the night!

Coincidentally the annual Leonids meteor shower hit its peak yesterday, although spaceweather.com claims that this fireball had nothing to do with the shower.

Argh!! I was "awake" but drowsily listening to a story. if only i had been out weeding or something :)
thanks for the heads up. out of curiosity, what would have happened if it had hit a city? what kind of size is a meteor like that once it reaches the ground?
I find it kind of ironic that such a celestial phenomenon happened over the most Mormon saturated city in the world! Is anyone running around declaring the end of the world yet?
Has anyone found this thing yet?
