Earlier this month, western Canadian skies lit-up as something soared through to Earth. Now, scientists say they discovered the source of the oddity: remains of the fiery meteor were discovered near Battle River in the Saskatchewan area, near Alberta. Several fragments of the meteor were found and several thousand more fragments could be scattered over the seven-mile area.
Residents in the Canada areas of Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba have been buzzing about the fiery skies on November 20th. Several reported sonic booms accompanying the display. Experts say the flash could have been seen nearly 450 miles away, even in the States. It was comparable to a 100-ton blast of TNT.
