Amazing Footage Of Meteorite Over Western Canada., page

A spectacular and almost blindingly bright meteor sparked a flurry of emergency calls to the police after it lit up the skies over western Canada.

Onlookers across the province of Alberta watched in awe, describing a kaleidoscope of colours as the rock rapidly descended.

'At first I thought it was fireworks,' farmer Marcel Gobeil said.

'I've never seen anything like it; it was green and blue and then turned to bright red. It was pretty big.'

I was watching the Northern Lights at a cottage in Northern Ontario, Canada in the fall of 2005 when I saw something almost exactly like that. It lit up the whole sky and then created almost a inverted colour after-image that lasted a few seconds. It was a treat for myself and 2 friends as we were all shrooming and all the more appreciative to the light show..

Ill never forget it.

Peace

What you saw, the 'after glow', is called a 'persistent train'. If it's gone in under a second it's known as a 'wake' or 'short-lived train', but in some cases (usually fast and bright fireballs) they can last for 10's of minutes, and you can watch them as they become progressively more contorted in the high atmospheric turbulence.

Click for an example of a long lasting train from this years Orionid meteor shower.

Check out this slowed down footage I've uploaded of a Leonid meteor, that shows a very clear train.
