1. Its kinda redundant to post a link to an ATSNN article.
2. It was in New Zealand.
|
Plus it wasn't the size of a house. Unless there are really small houses in NZ

i just kept messing up the post, i edited it though

Actually, a report here confirmed your first comment.
Landing down under: People claiming they saw a "house-sized" meteorite slam into Earth and explode with a flash may actually have seen a small space
rock streaking through the atmosphere as it burned up, an astronomer said.
Air traffic controllers on duty at Sydney Airport Tower saw a meteorite but did not give details of its size.
Police said several people just south of Sydney reported seeing a huge meteorite whizzing overhead before exploding. The report that it was the size
of a house came from one motorist traveling on a highway about 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of the city.

This happened last night. It's different than the one that hit the house.
Maybe Ausse Bloke was on to something :-)

House-sized' meteorite hits
From news.com.au staff and AAP
June 17, 2004
A METEORITE reportedly the size of a house fell on the NSW south coast overnight, exploding in a bright flash, police have said.
A driver on the Hume Highway shortly after 9pm (AEST) near Menangle reported an object the size of a house falling from the sky.

Hobbit houses........ there goes Bag End...

yeah, I think the poster is refering to the meteor that air-burst over australia yesterday... not the NZ hit.
|
OK, we know that specifically the AB story was just that, but he did say there would be increased meteor activity...........hmmmmm. Please don't
flame, just thinking out loud.

same here, dangermouse...
I don't remember ever hearing about so many meteor/bolide strikes in such a short time period... but maybe I just never paid such close attention
before....

(and dead  )
