Or better yet, an explanation of what the hell is going on!
Even avid skywatchers are suggesting that it's unusual to have something like this happen when the Earth is not in the midst of a shower.

Do you have any explanation for two events in the same day in different parts of the world, within a few hours of each other?

Nope. But some people (not me) have gotten a straight flush before.
Really, I don't think an explanation is needed. There was only one really extraordinary event, one that is thought to occur somewhere on Earth every two or three decades. Lesser fireballs are not as unusual as you may think. That two happened within twenty fours could be, and probably is, a lucky roll of the dice.
Based on timing and the speed of 2012 DA14, the California object was close to 1 million kilometers away from the Russian meteor if they were on anywhere near the same orbit.edit on 2/15/2013 by Phage because: (no reason given)
841 reports found in the last 30 days
Several reports (9 to be exact) of fireballs seen in AL, GA, MS all at approximately the same time... and all occurring today.Same event. Note the ID number.
NASA scientists said that object, described as a "tiny asteroid," measured about 45 feet across, weighed about 10,000 tons and was traveling about 40,000 mph before it exploded 15 miles above the Earth's surface with a force equivalent to a small nuclear bomb.
It was not immediately known if Friday night's light show coincided with the fly-by of a small asteroid earlier in the day. That object, which NASA dubbed 2012 DA14, came within

840 of those reports could have come from the same eventYes. Yes they did. And if you go to the site you can see which were separate events, 223 of them. And this is just in the US.

The description in the first paragraph is that of the Russian event. But compared to DA14, yes it was small. Compared to some asteroids, it was tiny.
