I saw it yesterday walking to my truck from work. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen! The video doesn't do it justice. The whole sky litup, almost like day except green. I thought that a refinery had exploded (I was on the south-east end where the refineries are)! Near the end of the video, when it exploded, I saw it. It went from a green ball into a red streak. Really cool.

I was on the computer when this happened… I just happened to look over to the Living Room Windows, when the Flash of light happened, and saw the glowing light ball pass over my house to the west… In a few short seconds, it was seen in Lloydminster, and over in Edmonton… Man, that was something!
Likely never see its like again…

i saw one Tuesday night where NY, NJ, and PA meet. Not nearly as spectacular, but still really cool. Coincidence? Aliens?
