Fire in the Sky
Neither police nor the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) could say anything with certainty about the explosions or from where the sound of explosions originated.
Some city dwellers heard six to seven loud explosion sounds in southern parts of Dhaka at around 12:40am yesterday.
Time: Approx: 11:55 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Fremont, CA.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Fireball.
Full Description of event/sighting: My wife and I, traveling south through Fremont, CA, around 11:55 pm, saw what looked like an extremely bright meteor descending toward the southern horizon. We cannot say that it was a UFO, but it was astonishingly bright and we at first thought a plane or some other object might be falling toward the local town of Milpitas. Only later, based on similar reports on Yahoo, did we conclude that it might be a meteor heading due south. However, it was much brighter than any meteor I have ever seen before. We note with interest: a) several reports of sightings in southern California that report the object moving north (rather than south, as in most accounts); b) there were similar sightings in Seattle and Portland; c) the coincident UFO sightings.
Graham Brooks, 37, a heavy goods vehicle fitter, lives at his mother Christine's house at Railway Cottages in Rilshaw Lane.
He was sitting at home looking at wedding magazines with his partner Karen at around 10.30pm when he heard a loud bang outside.
We had several e-mails, and so did NASA's ambassador to Utah Patrick Wiggins. We asked him what conditions need to be in place to see a daytime meteor. He said, "Size would be part of it, certainly how fast it's going, if it was going really slow for a meteor; that is, it wouldn't get bright enough."
A large boom was felt and heard in many portions of the city a little after 1:00 PM.
The bright streak was spotted just after 2:00 Monday morning.
Video of the flashing light was captured by an observatory near Santa Fe.
According to a UNM scientist, it was most likely a meteor passing through the earth's atmosphere.
It's a rare sight for anyone to witness, but the real treasure is finding the meteorite once it lands.

Comment: For videos of the increasing number of fireballs over Colorado, captured by Cloudbait Observatory, go here.
Comment: The National Weather Service explains it away as nothing more than a contrail, because of course the people in South Dakota had never seen one of those before, dontcha know. It would be outlandish to think, given all of the fireballs recently witnessed, that there would be yet another sighting, wouldn't it? Too many of those and people might start getting the idea that Something Wicked This Way Comes.
