It seems like the 5:30 PM time frame is becoming the choice time for heading out to look for bolides streaking across the sky. The past several nights have seen a lot of fireball activity, most likely in association with the Leonids Meteor Shower, which is just past peak. Last night, we saw reports out of western California, and tonight, New Orleans had a nice fireball sighting.
The latest report comes from Western Canada, where a fireball was visible over a widespread area. The meteor sighting was reported from Edmonton, to Regina. After it fell, the phone lines lit up at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police station in the region as many saw the event.
With the meteor coming down in Canada, there were some reports of it descending to the ground. Others also reported hearing a loud boom as it came down.
