stereologist Posted January 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 17, 2018 It is pretty interesting that there are so many eyewitness reports to this event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Greenman Posted January 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Quote (WXYZ) - The National Weather Service and United States Geological Survey confirmed that a meteor lit up the skies across Michigan and in several other states on Tuesday night. https://www.wxyz.com/news/bright-light-and-loud-sound-heard-throughout-southeast-michigan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted January 17, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I once saw one so bright that it momentarily lit up the night. I was at South Padre Island on the Texas coast. Was sitting by a campfire that was suddenly overwhelmed by a bright light from above. Looked up and saw a large fireball streak by. Did others notice that the video captures the break up of the fireball? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the light dims down there are 3 dots on the image. Two move but one does not. I was not sure if this was an artifact of the image or actual break up of the meteorite.

Sooth Sayer Posted January 18, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) It came from the sky. Tuesday night. I'm surprised I didn't catch it on the local news but maybe I didn't watch the news long enough. My wife seen it while at work at around 8:08 pm Tuesday night. She said it went from dark night time to everything lit up in the sky. Her and her co-workers all looked up not knowing what was going on. It looked the the image I posted (which is the actual meteor). Kinda cool but kinda scary. How did it get past all our astronomers without them knowing before hand? What do you guys think?

ChrLzs Posted January 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Given it was probably no bigger than about 1-2 metres (3-7ft), it's hardly surprising that astronomers didn't pick it up. These sort of objects are not really a great threat, unless they reach terra firma and land on top of you.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra. Posted January 19, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) They're pretty cool things to see in the night sky if you're lucky enough. I wonder how many natural pieces of undetected space debris actually survive the burn up and actually hit earth on a daily basis? Edited January 19, 2018 by Astra.
