A man calling from West Curtis Street said it "shook the hell out of our house," and a woman calling from East Burgess Street said she had retreated indoors, in case it was a gunshot.
      "It was the kind of boom like if you're very, very close to fireworks," the caller said.

      "We've always watched the meteor showers in August at the cottage, so you can see all of the white streaks just all over the sky... but this was completely different because it was red and bright. It was a massive fireball. To see something like that, you see videos of it, but to actually see it with your own eyes... videos don't do it justice," says Hamlin.

A Reddit user in Vancouver, B.C., reported seeing "a relatively large streak of light cut diagonally across the sky tonight around 11:30 p.m. We're in the Dunbar and 16th area and saw it in a north-northwest direction, about 30 degrees up. I thought it was just white, my girlfriend said it was rainbow coloured.
      Mike Hankey of the American Meteor Society confirmed that it was, indeed, a meteor. The organization received about 30 reports of the sighting on Sunday night, Hankey said.
      Hankey said that usually indicates that the meteor "penetrated deep enough into the atmosphere to create a sonic boom. This means the underlying mass is larger than a typical meteor."
      Comment: The East Oregonian reports the boom shook windows, doors and rattled walls in northeast Oregon:
      "It was a loud boom that lasted a long time and rattled the walls," said Crystal McKee, who lives near the center of town.
      "It sounded like they were lighting off dynamite in the park," said Jason Martinez. He lives across the street from Athena City Park, which sits at the southern edge of town.

      • NASA Warns Space Rock Twice The Size Of Eiffel Tower Due To Skim Past Earth In November - 22 Oct 2019
        The seemingly never-ending stream of Earth-bound space rocks continues, as an Apollo-class asteroid measuring between 918ft and 2,034ft in diameter (280m- 620m) is due to skim past our planet on November 21.
        Affectionately dubbed '481394 (2006 SF6),' the asteroid is traveling at a speed of roughly 17,780mph (27,360kph) and will make what NASA dubs a 'close approach' shortly after midnight (GMT) in mid-November at a distance of 2.6 million miles (4.2 million kilometers) away, or approximately eleven times as far away as the Moon.
      • Incoming! Five asteroids flew past Earth Friday - one twice as big as Empire State Building - 25 Oct 2019

      • Halloween surprise! Asteroid narrowly missed Earth yesterday - Discovered as it flew by - Closest on record - 31 Oct 2019
        Even space rocks are supplying jump scares on Halloween, just like your favorite horror flick.
        A near-Earth asteroid currently identified as C0PPEV1 was spotted in the early morning hours Thursday by the Catalina Sky Survey, based in Arizona, and shortly thereafter by New Mexico's Magdalena Ridge Observatory and Arizona's Mt. Lemmon Steward Observatory.
        According to data from these early observations, the asteroid came closer to the surface of our planet (without actually colliding with our atmosphere) than any other close approach in NASA's database of known near-Earth objects.
      • Yet another asteroid just skimmed Earth - ONE day after it was discovered - 03 Nov 2019
        Earlier today, planet Earth was buzzed by a tiny asteroid that ventured incredibly close to the planet's surface, scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have announced. Cruising through space at speeds of a little over 19,300 mph, the minuscule space rock passed closer than the moon, creeping in within just 65,100 miles of Earth.
        To put that into perspective, the moon sits at an average distance of 238,900 miles from Earth. This means that during today's extremely close flyby of Earth, the tiny rock flew at just 0.28 times the distance to the moon.
        Notice how, two paragraphs in, this report has already described the asteroid as "tiny" twice, and "miniscule". They haven't even reported what size range or estimate astronomers have given it, yet they're already opining on with their baseless threat assessment. This is typical of space weather reporting, which is generally abominable.
      • ANOTHER one! Chelyabinsk-sized asteroid skims Earth, third close fly-by in 5 days - 04 Nov 2019
        A 65-foot asteroid is set to shoot past the Earth at 26,843mph in a close flyby altitude of just 107,850 miles. Worryingly, NASA's space rock hunters only spotted the asteroid about a week ago.
      • They just keep coming: Skyscraper-sized asteroid due to pass Earth this week - 11 Nov 2019
        Asteroid 2019 UN12 is estimated to measure between 110m-250m (360-820.21ft), or roughly five Statues of Liberty standing on top of each other, and will whizz past the Earth on Wednesday at a whopping 64,467mph.
        Thankfully, it will speed by at a relatively safe distance of 892,294 miles (1,436,008km),
