Meteor over Russia / Calif.

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Tue Feb 19, '13, 3:31 am

It's been a few days since it happened and I am just now getting to post about the meteor that fell in the sky over Russia....did anyone hear about that?? Here's a video I found showing the meteor falling! Gosh, that must have been scary to anyone seeing it fall. Kind of makes me think about the spacecraft that fell containing baby superman though, if you know what I mean. Anyway, here's a video of the event in Russia:

And, there was also a meteor event recently in California:

Okay, with both these events and also the asteroid coming very close to earth, it is enough to make me get concerned over what the heck is going on in space and what may happen next.

I saw some videos about the Russia thing the day after. It looked rather impressive, leaving those trails in the sky. Lots of people hurt from windows being blown out, as I understand it. The meteor exploded right over a city, so I guess the shockwave did that. Or maybe a sonic boom, I remember hearing someone mention that.

I haven't seen any videos before this one here but I've heard about it on the radio and that's really very very IMPRESSIVE ! :o
I've also heard about the glass injuries provoked by glassespieces scattered all around some places....
