It was all over the news this morning. I live in the southern U.S. and sure hate I missed that one!

brilliant. thanks for that

Seems it was a brilliant green-colour, which indicates a heavy presence of nickel.

Lots of coverage & film of this one.

Incredible!

Some of that baby has got to have made it to the ground in fair sized chunks. I'd take the day off and go find it/them!

If it did make it to the "ground," you'll be needing SCUBA - at very least - as it would have landed in Lake Superior. This according to maps & telemetry. Those who were nearest have reported at least one, loud sonic-boom.

Otherwise, I'd be tempted to go "prospecting" for pieces of that critter myself!

Nice!

Brilliant piece of footage. Thanks for sharing

With so many astronomers these days having all sky cameras it's a wonder we don't these events more often.

[Dave In Vermont]

The USA, at least, is awash in security-cameras, and police in many locales employ "dashcam" video that record everything around their vehicles. So the film is out there - people just don't bother to look for specific-events/times unless something of interest (to the person(s) who own the cameras.
