    It looks like an X-File to me, Scully.

    Just kidding. It really does look spectaculer, both of them.

    It's a spectacular sight! I think the last one landed in a lake in northern Sweden. A friend of mine has a cabin in northern Norway, and he told me that the night turned to day for a brief moment when that meteor passed overhead. He could even hear the rumble when it hit the ground.

    Can't imagine why people are saying it's faked, it just looks like a really cool meteor strike to me, and goodness knows, enough people have camera phones to catch things like this.
    Hope noone was damaged by that.
