(meteorobs) Call for Observations - Manitoba Museum

[David Entwistle]

Manitoba Museum wants to hear from people who spotted "eerie green fire"
in the sky late Friday. 

A small asteroid or chunk of comet burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere
about 11:30 p.m. that night, creating the spectacle as it shattered into
several pieces. 

A sonic boom could be heard in the Whiteshell area about five minutes
later. Manitoba Museum has already taken several reports of the object,
and descriptions have Young believing it was a large bolide, a bigger
cousin of a meteor or shooting star. He wants to gather as many
eyewitness accounts as he can.
