Very cool Nick !!!

[@StarGazer3382]

So were there more that would be seen? It is now 10:20pm, same day as this, and i just saw another one near the Toronto Science centre. I live on the 37th floor and i noticed a fireball falling just like this one.

[@mpayne29]

I was driving north on Hwy 400 and saw that too, moving from west to east across the sky

[@mattyboyz16]

I just saw one over london on hwy 402 about an hour ago

[@MyRadDesign]

[@Z_TPI]

My NestCam picked it up just as it disintegrated. Not trying to steal your thunder lol but I posted it on my channel if you're interested..

[@millz9201]

I was wondering what that bang was outside. I went out after I heard this bang but couldnt see anything wrong. ty for posting

[@subliminalvibes]

Nice catch Nick! Any chance your video caught a sonic boom a minute later? You can calculate the distance if you did. 👍😎🇦🇺

[@NickMoore]

Unfortunately no but it woke me up and made me check the cameras.

[@subliminalvibes]

@@NickMoore Still a great catch! Cheers.

[@brancwp]

Aren't we passing through the Leonids Meteor cloud right now?

[@jeanettetoy8445]

I saw this this morning! Was in awe how close and bright it was. I heard the boom after it hit and have been searching to find out where it hit, and hoping it landed in a remote area! 😮

[@k.s.333]

over Lake Erie I believe.

[@kendokaaa]

Must've been a really cool sight

[@anthonyfrade5203]

The boom was it hitting the atmosphere not the ground

[@snowflakehunter]

That boom was the sound barrier being broken.

[@snowflakehunter]

@@anthonyfrade5203 Actually, it was the sound barrier being broken as it entered a dense atmosphere. We might be on the same page, but I'm not sure.

[@timmorris1655]

[@conniezimmer7396]

Glad it wasn't a dinosaur killing asteroid.

[@charleswalker3781]

It was loud. I thought it was an NG explosion in a house or something.
