EDMONTON - It wasn't a bird, and it sure as heck wasn't a plane, but whatever was in the sky over western Canada on Thursday night was very exciting for the people who saw it.

In Edmonton and across the Prairies, hundreds of people reported seeing a bright flaming object light up the sky around 5:30 p.m. local time. It was variously described as green, yellow, purple or blue, and appeared as either an explosion or an object streaking through the sky.

Sightings came from across the Prairies; from as far south as Medicine Hat, Alta., to as far north as Beauval, Sask. - 600 kilometres from Edmonton.

wow, that is extreme

weird shit like that always seems to happen in places that are 20 degrees below zero

Damn that looks huge.

Thats the toolbag they lost on the shuttle space walk.

That happened here in B.C. also,quite spectacular

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Very cool. I just saw 8-10 big yellow lights flying in formation above my area. Very strange.

The Nigerian satellite falling out of orbit?

Al joking aside that would be an eye opener to see in the sky.

Saw it earlier on the news. Here's a video of it on youtube from a dash cam

Damnit!! That's what I was going to say!! :1orglaugh

Thanks for postin' the vid - saw it on the news as well.

That looks totally freaking awesome

Holy shit that's crazy

space garbage

Sorry everyone...
My gravitic conductor blew out on my way to Amsterdam...

Fucken thing, luckily I had the spare in the storage bay and was up and out in 10 minutes. I fuckin hate Canada, way to fucking cold to just up and change a Conductor while not in a hangar.

Sorry folks.... it's a hoax.... just me lighting my farts last night :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Awesome.

That would have been pretty sweet to witness

:helpme :Oh crap

Those are awesome shots

I actually saw something very similar to that this summer when at the outdoor movie night at the park, a bunch of people saw it and we were all like "what the fuck". At first it looked like a big bottle rocket but then you realize it waaaaay too big.

fucking Clark Kent relatives coming to visit .. they just love those flashy entrances ..

That was pretty badass.

indeed :)

whereabouts are you?

always interested in brothers :winkwink:

cool video. thx man.

asteroid(s)

Any signs of a crater? Good thing the meteor didn't explode in mid-air.

Remember Tunguska in Russia....

I seen a pretty awesome fire ball fall from the sky up in Bobcaygeon a few years ago. Blew up and turned orange and green like that. Wasn't that big though. Hope they find something.

Thats bumble bee, optimus is on his way

wher happened this? rosevelt?

What I don't understand about the video,

is how in the fuck can just a fireball light up the sky like that?

I realize the size and speed of it, but still.. it lights up the entire sky in a blink of an eye.

it was going really fast, then it starts breaking up as it comes through the atmosphere. When it got really bright it was basically the whole rock falling apart.

hey we had the same thing happen here in the south, New Orleans, was it the same thing in the sky we saw here?

Meteor has heads tilting skyward

they immediately said it was a meteor, and there was very little mention of it after this short article... :Oh crap

damn that thing looks insane

I know..... it all of a sudden looks like daylight.
