Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Canadians report 'blazing ball' shooting across sky Updated Tue. Feb. 19 2008 1:10 PM ET The Canadian Press KAMLOOPS, B.C. -- A meteor that blazed across the darkened early- morning sky above the western United States was also clearly visible on the Canadian side of the border. A Kamloops, B.C., man, who identified himself only as Doug, says he was driving south of the city when he saw a blazing ball that appeared to have hit the ground because it illuminated the entire horizon. Another Kamloops man, Gerald Haggerty, says the horizon lit up like a bomb. A Federal Aviation Administration duty officer in Seattle told The Associated Press the streaking meteor was reported by pilots from Boise, Idaho west to Washington State. A Horizon Airlines pilot reported seeing the meteorite hit the ground with a flash and a burst of light near State Route 26, about 280 kilometres east-southeast of Seattle. Sheriff's dispatchers said they had no reports of damage or injuries from the reported meteorite strike around 5:45 a.m. local time. They said one caller from Walla Walla, about 90 kilometres south-southeast of the reported impact site, said she heard a sonic boom and felt a shock wave not long after seeing the streaking meteor.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008  Well that's a different matter - testing weapons in an underhand way, or at least, that's what I've heard.
