#2 "It would be visible from eastern Africa and would evaporate over Sudan"

If I say I hope it's ~~10 inches~~ not too far over Sudan, does that make me a bad person?

I can live with that.

#5 Wel-l-l, may or may not be related but iff the fireballs = meteor atreaks I'd seen over GUAM-WESTPAC the last two nites are any measure, its ASTEROIDS, PLURAL, NOT -ROID SINGULAR.

Also visibly saw a TWO-LEGGED TAOTAMONA = BLACK SHADOW BEING leap o'er a fence and walk thru a parking lot last nite, but we don't see any on SPACEWAR or SCIENCE DAILY, etc. now do we!?

D *** NG IT, ITS NOT THE ROCK WE SAW, BUT THE ROCKS WE DIDN'T SEE!

#7 I've seen rocks this big hit the atmosphere a couple times. It's not much of a meteor; does a good job of lighting up the sky though.

#8 I'm still waitin' for the one about 100m in diameter that's gonna splat Riyadh on one of the royals' birthday. Can't decide which I'd rather it be - a nice nickel-iron rock, or maybe highly compacted frozen methane, ammonia, and water-ice.
