Meteor strike in Canada

This just in. A large meteor hit Western Canada and was captured on video http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20081120/alta_fireball_081120/20081120?hub=TopStories

I, for one, welcome our alien overlords. There, I said it so it is out of the way :smiley:

Oh, the overlords are finally here? That’s great news…I was hoping they’d show up in my lifetime!

I saw that! I had just come in from having a smoke and I saw this big flash. I didn’t know what the hell it was! None of my neighbours saw it though. The dogs barked like crazy.

Whatever the hell it is, it was HUGE!

Figures, the overlords come on the day I cut off the tip of my thumb at work.

Now I’ll probably be labeled a defect and moved to their “Happy Time Fun Camps” working 18 hours in the mines, instead of being forced into endless sex w/ supermodels to advance our species. :frowning:

Wow!

Have they found it yet? And are there any mysterious glowing substances oozing from the cracked remains of the object, followed by screams and missing high-school students?

Yet another example of Canada’s lax immigration policies putting North America at risk.

When the aliens travel south across the border and conquer America, I bet we get blamed.

Canada deserves the wrath of heaven.

…I keed, I keed.

Damn! Why wasn’t I looking up at the sky then? I’m always looking up at the sky!

Well, in the link I posted above, you can watch videos of the impact.

Has anyone seen Stephen King? Do we know that he hasn’t stuck his fingers in the goo oozing from the meteorite yet?

There’s a video of it from a police car’s dashboard camera on Youtube.

Since it was a luminous object , I wonder if Norad was able to track it to the point of impact.

Declan

There was a similar case in Washington State a couple of years ago–lot of superfluous footage, but you can skip ahead to about 1:45 to see the meteor impact.

I wondered what had happened to those two.

The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one…
but still they come.

Man, I’ve always wanted to see that. I’ve seen meteors in the sky, but never a strike. Can’t wait to get home and watch the video.

heh … " mee-tee-ore shit!"

“Klaatu barada nikto, eh?”

Jim, host of the Eyeopener on CBC, said this this morning. Well, he said “I for one welcome out meteorite overlords” but close enough. :stuck_out_tongue:

I was inside, because I was stuck on Glenmore so I decided to run a non-essential errand as it took me away from the gong show last night until it cleared up. Otherwise I may have seen it…
