Excellent compilation, but I've seen that particular clip before a day or two after the meteor came.. I was impressed how many videos started flooding.

Pretty cool, and pretty scary.

Can some "amazing" person please run some of the closer / clearer ones through a filter.

There was talk in an earlier forum of "something" hitting this this prior to impact.

Would be great to see this "supposed" strike if available?

Many thanks in advance

Not surprised at their being such a conspiracy =) but I doubt it .. it behaves as I would expect a meteor to behave.. hitting the atmosphere at such a high rate of speed causes immense friction which causes immense heat, it starts melting and breaking up very quickly in a ball of fire.. usually only tiny little fragments make it to the ground.. it's the airburst that causes the damage.

These kinds of events happen multiple times per year, just usually over un-populated areas like the ocean

Thanks for sharing, it's truly an amazing sight to see and thanks to all the Russian people who have dash cam!!! I have to wonder how many drivers now have a cam on their dash thanks to this.

I really feel like I have to say this.

There is nothing NEW or Amazing about this video. I'm sorry, but the title is so misleading.

I saw this video the day after and upon reading your title I actually believed there was new HD footage..

Thanks for commenting. I'm curious as to why you think it's scary. I think the odds of getting cancer or heart disease or being in a painful fatal car accident are much higher - that is what I call scary. Hey, if it's your time to go, GO BIG!

I'm honestly more in wonder and in awe of this event, the power of the universe and the extent of it we have no idea about just boggles the mind.

I just find it funny how most people were oblivious to it , or they were like meh nothing to see here move on .

Why do you think that is? If we had a more "normal" world what do you think the reaction would have been?

Thanks for that, flipping amazing, theres no words really, all I felt from watching that was insignificance for us.

I doubt I'll be killed by one of these in my life time.. sure =) but it's scary when you think of it as us being basically in a cosmic shooting gallery.. we're a moving target with projectiles of various shapes and sizes flying at us constantly.. many of which hit but are too small to notice, or are large but over un-unhabited areas .. but large events happen every so often in history.. and super large events may happen every few hundred million years.. which mean we may very well be due for that.. and we, at this point, have no means to stop it .. unless we want to send up bruce willis.. but .. I think it unlikely to happen anytime soon.. the sun could always burn out first =)

I think most people were dazzled by it .. but me as someone who's always been interested in astrophysics thinks this is cool but not unusual .. the rare part of this is that it happened in an inhabited area.. but strikes liket his actually occur far more often than people realize.

To be honest, the most amazing thing about this event besides the fact it happened over a populated area.. was how many cameras were on to catch it .. HOW many people have dash cams these days???? =)

I must say, at about 1:57, it would be a GORGEOUS desktop background. Or better yet, a phenomenal framed photo for decor! I absolutely love the meteor streaking above the white snow-dusted trees, it's simple beauty at it's finest.

Great comp, but I have to add your taste for music is awful.
