    That is an act of cosmic terrorism. Biden was right that Obama was going to be tested in his first six months in office.

     Leonids tend to bright and colorful, but I don't think this was a Leonid. I would think it was more like a stray meteor....

    By the way.. this actually had nothing to do with the Leonids... this was a stray random bolide meteor. It was 100 miles up and traveling at 80,000 miles per hour and was about the size of an oven.

     I saw this with my own eyes. I couldn't believe how bright this thing was! It literally turned night into a summer day at noon! It happened at 12:07 am and I was waiting at a stop light when BAM! I was blinded and shocked.... quite an amazing sight if you ask me.

      @mpetrieFunny how people easily disbelieve someone who said they saw it with their own eyes. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and was driving home from seeing 2012 (no joke... I know.. how ironic) that night and just happened to be facing the direction where it was coming from. I saw the initial flicker of light and looked to my left and watched it light everything up. After the light faded, I could still see a tiny orange dot continue to fall so hopefully the meteor landed and it'd be cool if someone located it. Nev

     The date in the top corner of vid 2 states 2009-11-18. So it's not a Leonid; Just a regular meteorite, or maybe even a piece of space junk.

      @PlankmeisterHey idiot. The Leonids are happening the 10th thru the 21st of November this year. I'd say that the 18th falls between those dates, wouldn't you? Stupid know nothing assclowns, I swear. You kill one and seven more pop up.
