Title: Meteor
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on December 09, 2010, 12:22:43 am
Anybody see the big meteor this evening?

I was driving through Sheffield about 17:40 when what looked like a 'kin huge green/red firework shot across the sky. Had a colleague in the car and we both said, \"What the f**king hell was...?\"

I thought it was a plane on fire but it was going way too fast.

Turns out, according to Radio 5, that it was a big meteor. They reckon a piece of rock the size of a football hit the atmosphere at 50,000mph.





























I assume it landed on Mr Frost's house?

It did. I'm blaming it on Al Qaeda though.

What?  It wasn't the ticket office's fault?

Coincidentally the size of a football? I think not. It was one of Dean Barrick's delicate cross-field balls re-entering the atmosphere after hitting the woodwork on the International Space Station. Never a fan of \"tippy-tappy football\", our Dean.
