So who saw the light show earlier?? I was on 156 and 111 when a flicker caught my eye to the east. I look toward and im blinded by a flash of white light followed by a streaming rocket speeding to the ground and breaking into glowing pieces. I drove on wondering what it was. Thought maybe a streetlight blew up and shorted too ground. At first i thought i just witnessed a plane crash but a guy called into the bear and saw the same. So im not crazy!!

It landed right behind my Trackhoe east of Camrose!:eek: I was backfilling a pipeline tonight and suddenly the sky lit up really bright like lightning, I looked behind me just to see it burn out. Not sure if anything hit the ground but I'll look around tomorrow!

Sledbunnyracing called me tonite and said he saw huge debris hit the ground not far from lloydminster, right beside the hiway...... He's travelling east to his hometown of melfort saskatchewan. Said it was "very" bright..... I saw the pics on the tv that the news helicopter took of debris flashing to the north of edmonton........... Must be a satellite breaking up???

It flew right over Lloyd so it couldn't have hit the ground in Edmonton or Camrose. Knocked the parrot right off his perch. You should see the surveillance footage from Agland. Lit up the whole area like a bright sunny day. Is there a place on here I can upload video? It's worth a look.

I uploaded some night vision footage from Lloyd. You need to watch it a few times to fully appreciate how awesome this was. Check the equipment...the shadows...the blue sky and the horizon. It's on S&M tube

Go to Youtube- Edmonton Meteor, there is 3 different videos. I saw it briefly as I let the dog out. I swear it landed a mile away. What a joke after hearing it was spoted in Ft Mac, Saskatoon, Edmonton........Anyways, it was a once in a lifetime.
