From all the video I have seen (nearly 20 different ones) I would guess that it was larger than a monitor, and probably DID hit. I definitely was larger than the estimates, and the other weird thing, is that news from Seattle and Portland were reporting that the military was called out. That in itself is fishy.

That # was really bright. It lit up the sky like the sun.

I live in Washington, On the Kitsap Penn., I did not se anything ( I was very tired, I was training at White River) but I know my dog was going nuts. He was kinda howling...sounded more like when dogs "talk". Did they air this on the news? I didnt get a chance to see the news today. Does anyone have a film of this that I can see?

Hey, did any of those videos have a shot of it while still intact and in the air (were any of the cameras aimed at it)? I've watched several and have only seen the ground flash portrayed. If it is as 'big as a house', as some have claimed, the rush to say what it was may have been too quick.

I would not say house, but, maybe a small garage. I only saw one video (lost the link) that caught part of it intact. However, not enough to get a "good" estimate. However, with the amount of light projected, it was bigger than a monitor. I have witnessed meteors that size in my life, and this was bigger and brighter than that.

It isn't a question on whether or not there was a meteor, there was, it's a question of, was there a meteorite.

Not much to say, but that it lit up the night sky and triggered many siesmographs.

These meteorties are coming in too fast for a National defense system to react to in a timely manner.

Was it orginally the size of a house or a car before it burned up?
