OF THE
TIMES
1-3 sec, North - East, right to left. White-blue, very bright, fast, lit up minor cloud cover, passed beyond, disappeared behind houseline. High intensity, flare/spotlight. No noise, but very, very bright. Mistaken for a movie-status weapon of war by companions.15 OCT 2012 - Helen Simchak, Fort Mcmurray, Alberta, Canada 00:40 MDT
5 seconds, left to right. Long gold tail, extremely bright, no sound, no noticeable fragments. I've never seen anything like it!
3 seconds - Facing NW, meteor just above horizon, travelling left to right. White light with trailing pieces. 5X [brighter than] Venus. The meteor fell from view behind a distant tree line, followed a moment later by an orange flash. The flash appeared in the distance beyond the trees and illuminated the distant sky. No sound was heard.08 OCT 2012 - Nathan Jansen, Chapleau, Ontario, Canada 21:30 EST
10 sec - S to N. Green, brighter than moon ...disappeared behind the trees... must have been impact because there was an explosion of light.08 OCT 2012 - Kyle Brouse Verner, Ontario, Canada 20:45 Eastern Daylight Time
6 sec - I was heading North when I saw it, and it was moving from West to East. Green, a bit brighter than the moon. No parts were falling off. Huge green orb that lit up the sky when it hit the ground, almost like an explosion.

Webster S.O. confirms bunker explosion at Camp Minden
We had been wondering whether or not this Russian "munitions accident" was covering up for an overhead airburst caused by an incoming meteor or cometary fragment ... and now something rather similar has happened in southern U.S. one week later!
Update 2:
Local news station is now reporting that a debris cloud was picked up on radar images. One eyewitness also reported 'meteor ash' falling to the ground ...
