CCTV: footage of a meteor spotted over the skies of Gauteng, South Africa on the 21st of November 2009
Local news story:
Johannesburg and Pretoria residents have come forward, claiming they spotted a meteor in the skies on Saturday night.
People in Gauteng saw the bright light at around 11pm on Saturday night, heading towards the north of Pretoria.
“We saw this big green ball of fire. it kind of came out of the sky, out of the blue,” one resident said.
“There was sudden flash. Like an orange stripe in the sky, followed by a very bright explosion where the sky lit up as if it was daytime,” another explained.
Astronomers and scientists are still trying to find out where the meteor landed.
Ronnie McKenzie collects meteorites and said something like this is very rare.
“I would say it probably happens around two or three times a year around the world,” he said.

This was actually footage of Apartheid re-entering Earths atmosphere above South Africa after a brief stint in geosynchronous orbit.

Its just a matter of time before a big one hits.
Maybe the people will turn aganst god and people will start to embrace life instead of wasting it in church judging people. Or worse blowing yourself up in a town square.
Millions dead = no loving god! Its funny how people forget the past to live comfortable in the present. People only improve and learn after war and mass death. Sad..

Sure, because devil is coming to take us away, God has been losing this battle, and people, look what they look like in the last days, everything is going to be easy soon...

There is millions of people involved in tracking and finding objects that could act as a global killer. Thousands of telescopes searching the sky. Some may spot something earlier or later. Those coming from the direction of the sun are difficult to spot.

Agreed I don't think they would unless there was a way to save a large number of them

Do you believe in other intelligent life be it for religious or other reasons? I think it's impossible for another intelligent species to not exist. There is somewhere to the order of ten thousand billion, billion,(10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 10^21) stars out there. That's an awful waste of space. Your thoughts?

Yes Bigfoot is apelike but there are ET'S called the nordics that look human just slender and a bit taller w/ white hair and fair skin. There are also Reptilians who look like humanoid lizards. My point is yes it's probably a species like Gigantopithicus(spelling) but it could be alien to this planet, never know.
This neighbor of mine was probably crazy but he spoke of these things as though he was convinced of them and really did witness it first-hand. He spoke of a trilateral commision a More..
