- friend18, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25Yeah I'm sure the texas cop used his G5 at home to manipulate some fake asteroid footage. ^__^
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20"that's pretty cool.. i've never seen one in person that close"
You realize that it's video and you weren't actually there, right? - cryptolife, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15in route toward the Area51 ? :)
- halcyonandon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I saw it too, thought I was imagining it becase I was very tired and had a few beers. My wife and brother were ready to commit me when I told them about it. Glad this story was posted, proves me right :) Mental Institution avoided again !!!!
- bflfab, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Holy Crap! I SAW this meteor. I was talking with my neighbor wednesday night (in west Fort Worth) and saw a huge bright streak. I have seen meteors fall before but this was one of the brightest ever.
- arunforce, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14But obviously you lack common sense.
I'm a 3D modeler, I know what's real from fake, and that, sir, is real. - colto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I saw this meteor as well. I live just outside of Dallas and saw it as I was driving home. At first glance I thought someone had shot off some type of firework. Then I realized it was MUCH bigger. Too bad the blue streak didn't show up very well in the photos, it was a real site to see.
- benitojuarez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9it was of couse an asgard ship filled with replicators.

O-Qua Tangin Wann. The Biavians are coming, if you do not have one of my symbols then you will not be taken to the mother ship.. uhhh uhhh.
http://www.thecomingoftan.com/ - arunforce, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12I swear I saw Superman destroy that asteroid!
- slamm6, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Dude, you crawled out pretty quick. I usually get to read a few more serious comments before getting to the inevitable, "it must be fake", or "photoshop !". I commend you on your lightning fast skepticism. I bet Columbus would have had a hard time financing his trips to the New World with you around!
- JesperJ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Wow, once in a lifetime... maybe less. :)
- mindsnare, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I've seen a pretty similar thing, no where near that large and bright, but it was just before dusk which gave it extra eeriness. I was baffled by it. I was on my pushbike and it happened right in front of me, it just looked so amazingly close but was moving faster than anything I've ever seen, it was much bigger than a standard shooting star though, and I could see fragments coming off it.
- electromagnetic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Well apparently it was either a "meteor fireball or space junk entering the atmosphere", which places it down to just about everything in space capable of hitting the planet. So you can probably make as good an argument about what it is as the actual astronomers without seeing one.
- mccord, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5i, for one, welcome our new alien overlords...
- manchld, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3was it tuesday night? A friend called me that night and was raving about a shooting star he saw, while I was thinking..big whoop. But this one seemed special.
- csyberblue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This reminded me of one that I saw a few months ago in San Antonio, Texas. My friend was driving me back from hanging out at another friend's house, and it was like 4 or 5 in the morning. We saw a meteor in the sky like that, it was just as bright as the one in the video, except it didn't pulsate. And it was orange too. We didn't see it fade out though like it did in this video, it stayed bright the entire time it fell. I was trying to look for some smoke coming from the area where I presumed it fell, but I didn't see any.
My friend and I were kinda freaked out, but we were happy to see what we assumed to be a rare event. - dontbejack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That is simply amazing.
- chadhot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I saw this too. It was crazy. Sooooo bright. I was standingin a parking lot in Lewisville, TX and thought it was a firework too. It was almost like a power line was cut on a electrical pole but there were none of those either. I love the term "space junk". Awesome.
- Olain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I saw this in Tulsa Oklahoma on my drive home.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well where did it land, did anyone investigate the "crash site"?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@mdeppi01
I was making a joke - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4@shlep
He was remarking about having never seen one in person that close, therefore it was nice to see it on video. - bflfab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ahecht
GET OUT OF MY TEETH!!! - tuxuser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1stranage things do happen. any ways a cop is not aloowed to doctor images take from still camera or video camera. tampered evidnce for right or wrong is well wrong. if this is proven false meaning he may have faked this then he is ***** outta luck and well outta a job.
- psbpv3o, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I saw a shooting star wednesday night around that time. Maybe that was it?
- mikeroySoft, on 10/19/2009, -7/+8Can i have your autograph?
- Twango, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They'll be gone once they've loaded all the gold, platinum, and a lifetime supply of testacles ....
- korteenea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've seen one of these over Baltimore, once. Pretty impressive, really... they can get quite bright.
- ZerozenOnes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It also goes to show that when a big one comes, we wont see it coming before a few seconds to impact... and then Bye-Bye !
- ZerozenOnes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I didn't necesarily land. Most likely not in fact. Most of them, even the one who get quite low like this, fully desintegrate before ground level. It would be interesting to ear an estimate of the size however.
- ahecht, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3and then you found five dollars?
- robystar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Qua Unsa Lagi-Wan bitch! Them aliens better stop playin around already and stop sending human representatives that are wacked outa their skulls.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5that's pretty cool.. i've never seen one in person that close
- bubblejumper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yo, "And things of this nature." You get my question about the quantum spin?
- mcsolas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Me too. It beats the current republicalien leaders we have now.
- GreySkiesBlue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I happened to be sitting on my balcony with friends while they were having a cigarette and I saw this thing streak through the sky. I thought it might have been a firework or something, but the way it was falling made no sense. Good to know I wasn't just seeing things.

Qua Onsa Logi-Wann - ActiveMatx, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Anyone else think it might be a alien related object? I do.
- gitrplaya4u, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4"No man, its a UFO. Alien invasion o.0." one of natures awesome things.
- Dotcommer, on 10/12/2007, -24/+1hmm...idunnoooo... something about it seems a little fake. But then again, im a special effects artist. Everything I see I over analyze... *shrug*.
