Also amazing to see that the video report with the first link, makes that odd 
mistake again that I never understand: they show footage (unrelated to the real 
April 3 event) of a "fireball" that in reality shows: an aircraft contrail. It 
keeps surprising me that in this day and age, people don't recognize aircraft 
contrails for what they are.
