Spotted in the eastern sky shortly after 10 pm – all over BC.

“a piece of rock or metal that has fallen to the ground from outer space : a meteor that reaches the surface of the Earth without burning up entirely”.

 

The American Meteor Society says it received over 90 reports about the fireball event all the way from British Columbia to Saskatchewan to the states of Washington, Idaho and Montana.

According to its latest estimated trajectory, the society believes the fireball entered the atmosphere near Boswell, B.C. and terminated near Meadow Creek, B.C., roughly 100 kilometres away.
