Anyone else see the whole sky light up this morning?
I was just south of RedWater.

1st thought was lightning, but it lasted longer and seemed more like something exploded.

Then heard on the radio it was a meteor.

It was pretty cool.

That is cool. The one that landed south of Lloyd a few years ago landed about 8 miles from my house. It went right over top of our place.

I was sitting in vehicle in driveway in front of my house and I couldn't figure out what happened. Thought my power transformer blew up. Lol

Saw it right over top of my head this morning as I was walking to my truck I thought it was lightning at first but there was a trail of smoke behind it wafting away. Stood there stunned for about 30 seconds wondering what the heck just happened

Driving on kingsway the sky lit up than I could see a streak of light right across the sky.
One of the coolest things I ever seen.

Was driving to work. Was just south of Devon and it flew over. Watched the whole way across the sky! It amazed me how long the fire trail stayed after. Really cool to see. I was reading comments on a Facebook post and a guy said he seen another one around 11 pm that night. I wonder him many fall in a day around the world?

So I googled that
