i heard about it this morning from workers. Pretty incredible to think that if one gets thru and is the size of a truck it will hit with force like a nuclear bomb.
One time early in my morning commute years ago i was driving north on the viaduct in Seattle and i saw a meteor with flames and all trail in the dimly lit dawn sky. it was TRIPPY!!!!!

I didn't see this one but I used to see them all the time back in high school.


Might have had something to do with chemicals though.....:confused:

I'm just wondering why it made a loud sound? It doesnt seem to make sense to me why one would make a loud sound. I didnt hear anything last night, and given my location, I wouldn't have seen it even if I was awake at the time.

I heard the Meteor this morning and it scared the crap out of me. I live in Bellingham, and at 2:40 in the morning, it sounded like my house went through a shudder and i was being robbed. Two minutes later, someone calls me on my cell phone. It was scary as hell. I answered the phone and no one was there, just a bunch of fuzz and a repeting voice. Anyways, checked the number in my Call log, and it says No number, but a call appears at 2:44 AM. Pretttttty crazy if you ask me.....

Sonic boom of a (reletively) large object entering the atmosphere at a very high rate of speed. Physics IS cool!

I knew that, I just wasnt thinking when I wrote that. I remembered later. Plus, I'm only 15, not quite in Physics yet, but I really can't wait to be in that class.
