Meteor video

Last Wednesday (March 5th), astronomers at the University of Western Ontario captured a video of a meteor falling to Earth, which is available here. This meteor reached an altitute of ~24 km before breaking up, so there is a good chance that several pieces managed to reach the ground, which they are looking for now. Pretty cool! (and scary).

Hope you enjoy.
