Maybe some one has a new large rock in their field. Also maybe someone got a video of it?

Do you remember the folks in Kecksburg, Pa. seen a UFO crash several years ago?
A few years ago I was out for a walk one night and over me saw one as bright as could be, almost seemed you could reach up and touch it. I even heard it. Then it fizzled out. I just stood there and said "Wow..." and though I wished I could have filmed it. But how would you ever know it was going to be there. Im glad it wasn't the last light I saw lol...

Brian806 et al,
Local paper (From AP) had an article about the Meteor.
KITTANNING, Pa. (AP) — A meteor moving at 45,000 mph lit up the sky over western Pennsylvania.
NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office says the space rock measuring two feet in diameter and weighing roughly 500 pounds entered Earth's atmosphere above the Pittsburgh suburbs around 4:50 a.m. Tuesday. It could be seen in Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio.
NASA says cameras detected the rock at an altitude of 60 miles above Beaver Falls, northwest of Pittsburgh. The agency says it flared brighter than a full moon as it descended to an altitude of 13 miles above Kittanning, northeast of Pittsburgh.
The agency says the meteor likely came from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
NASA says meteorite fragments may be scattered on the ground east of Kittanning.
Cool Stuff.
