Um, @CNN? Your videos show that last night’s Midwest fireball was NOT “visible for about 15 minutes.” Not even 15 seconds. http://bit.ly/abTRxr

I’ve seen Meteor showers before, but nothing like this. Looked more like CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. Wasn’t there a day in America where the news media witnessed something, even via video, made phone calls, got testimony from experts, gathered information and questioned a press release rather than just reading a fax/e-mail and taking it as fact?
I rarely make it to the late night meteor showers when the news says they’re on, but the times I have, you get a shooting star every 30 minutes and freeze your ass off and end up frustrated as hell. This, being something I’ve never seen anything like it EVER, seen by people across 5 states with sonic booms, I think it merits a little more investigation. I mean I’ll do it, I’d just expect that people that went to journalism school would feel the same way I do, having their interest piqued, I just don’t get that impression when I watch American news. I guess that’s why they call the internet the “new media”.

Your ignorance notwithstanding, Mr. The-Moon-Landing-Was-Faked, this looks like a very standard bolide, which is the scientific term for a meteor “fireball.” Nothing unusual about it, except that it happened over a heavily populated area and thus was witnessed (and videotaped) by more people than usual.

Oh, this should be good. Can The Living Room Times get an exclusive when you release your findings? lol
