    So,not visible from the Americas? If you are located in northern Africa, the Middle East, and possibly even southern Europe, send us a photo, OK?

    Had no idea what a "bolide" was, so I just learned my one thing for the day. As it's so well documented I'll be disappointed if there aren't plenty of good images.

    Some news reports reckon it'll burn/break-up before impact

    It hit apparently! Well, well! Who would have believed it?

    I read this on Space Weather yesterday. Wouldn't that be fun to observe?

    Depends how comfortable you are with kiloton-scale explosions...
