That's really cool.
My brother once saw the same sort of thing in MB but he said it felt like it lasted for one minute. Him and his buddies basically thought it was the end of the world.  |

I saw a smaller one fall over Daegu this time last year. It was big enough to cause me to stop in my tracks, and cause my heart to jump. It fell straight down over some mountains.
Really beautiful sight. |

| You don't need meteors to make your heart jump - All you gotta do is sample one of my cooked dishes. |

| September of last year, while home in the states, I seen many meteors at night. It was so nice. We didn't see a huge explosion like in your video, but comets and shooting stars were so common. It makes sense to me that September is a great time to look up from a dark rural field. This is when big catfish like to bite too... May is the other really golden month. |

| If it's the end of the world, it would probably sound like death falling from the sky. Wouldn't something big enough to end the world make lots of noise or something? Scientists cometh! |

| I've seen meteor showers, but that was something else. Where did it land? What asteroid did it come from, or was it off a comet? Hope it didn't fall on someone's house, or on anybody. |

That's amazing.
Very intersting about the Earth's apex, the 'front windsheild.' That's why meteors are seen a lot, or hit a lot in Northern places. |

Well, very likely it's moving faster than the speed of sound, so you wouldn't hear a thing until after it hits. |
