The Awesomeness of Nature

"It was a nice bright green colour. It looked like it was northwest of Wilcox. It was right around 6:25 -- I looked at my watch," said Faris. "It looked like it hit the ground."

Damn. Flex is everywhere!! They got the spelling wrong, but I know it was him. :ph34r:

I suspect it may have been a meteor smaller than a basketball at impact. Very sharp entry angle. Maybe twice that size when it touched the upper atmosphere. Here is a pic of Arizona's impact crater east of Flagstaff just to give you some perspective. About 4000' across and 500' deep. Been there a couple times. Weird and kind of spooky too. I looked it up. A 150,000 ton blob of pure metal about 50 yards wide moving 45,000 mph at a steep angle gets you this. Yep, nature never fails to amaze.
