I witnessed a massive fireball at the exact time from northern MT. I would have guessed it to be in a line around Swift Current.

From my inner circle, it was an attempt by our lame duck president to start a war in the Alberta oilsands region. But, keep that quiet.

In response to the comment below. I see the same thing. I live in Ocoee florida and was on my way to work in clermont and see exactly what you described. Looked like a firework going off however very large. It was really awesome. I know the leonoid meteor shower had just peaked around the same time.

My sister and I were on the deck of the boat looking due west, when a bright blue meteor streaked across the sky. It was maybe four or five hand-widths above the horizon. Our first thought was that someone had set off a firework. It had that kind of look.

I wish I could remember what time it was. it was definitely in the evening - perhaps 8:00 or 9:00 PM.

i live in tampa florida, and i saw it on my way home. to me, the actual meteor and tail were visible for much longer than in the Canadian police video, and i did not see the sky light up. but it was definitely the same thing.
