And okay there Bob, well one of my other hobbies is amateur astronomy. Now most are meteors but the difference between a fireball and a meteor is if the actual object that you witness is brighter than any other object in the sky apart from the Sun and the Moon. If it's brighter than you know anything else apart from the Sun and the Moon because it would have to be really bright for them. And it's really worrying. And it's known as a fireball. So it was a fireball because I just googled it because I'm interesting. I've never heard of it over here. It's nothing been mentioned on the news. There's a few videos about 19 hours ago on YouTube about it as well. I'll take a little look at them after the net and see what it's all about. But yeah if it's brighter than any other object in the sky apart from the Sun and the Moon it's a fireball. So meteors when they hit the Earth, if they make it through the atmosphere, meteorites. There's a little bit of an aside for you there Bob. So I assume it was a fireball then because that's what the news is reporting when I googled it. Put it back to you there Bob. I've actually never seen one. Not in real life you know not personally myself. But I would like to. But I don't think it's going to crash anywhere into the Earth anywhere close to me. Most of them actually just skim the atmosphere and continue on their merry way. Kiela Charlie 1, Sierra Tango Bravo from GW8SZ out.
