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.

Pretty intersting, it would have be rather large for people in Kamloops to see something down near Seattle!

Wow now that would be a sight to see. Very interesting

I live in Seattle and just read about this in the news.

People in Seattle didn't actually see or hear this, but people in Spokane Wa. and Boise Id. did (about 450 miles east of Seattle). I read it actually produced a sonic boom too!

Here's a link from a local news station with video of it and everything!

Neat!

sure seems like this would have touched down...

You can bet there are people searching for it right now, if htey haven't already found it. Pretty amazing to make sucha light show, and to produce a sonic boom. I wonder how big it really was?

Nasa says now we have a 1 in 45,000 chance of being wacked! Boom,Boom out goes the lights. " Boom Town Rats" remember DONTEATUS
