Another One: Canada becomes meteor hotspot as BC flashed by streaking debris

With asteroid experts currently searching out an impact point for the dazzling chunk of space rock that was visible from Alberta to Saskatchewan as it passed through the atmosphere earlier this week, residents of British Columbia have become the latest to witness an incoming meteor as it broke up in the Canadian skies.

Making its flaming arrival in the late afternoon on Tuesday, a number of onlookers in the Vancouver area contacted the news desk of Canadian broadcaster CBC regarding the meteor, which they claimed was clearly visible in the darkening sky for around two seconds.

“There was this rocket kind of looking object going from the east to west,” commented Jim Allen, who witnessed the event as it passed over Vancouver's Grouse Mountain on the Pacific coast. “It didn't look real,” he added.
