Small Asteriod Burn Up
I read this last night:
| Quote: |
There's talk on The Minor Planet Mailing List about a small asteroid approaching Earth with a 99.8% probability of colliding. The entrance to the
Earth's atmosphere will take place October 7 at 0246 UTC (2:35 after this story goes live) over northern Sudan, releasing the energy of about a
kiloton of TNT. The asteroid is assumed to be 3-4 meters in size; it is expected to burn up completely in the atmosphere, causing no harm. As a
powerful bolide, it may put on quite a show in the sky. |
I woke up this morning figuring we would have heard something about it or have found videos of this, yet I have found nothing. Has anyone heard
anything at all?

This is the best rated related result I found:

there are several different reports, however some people from Sudan wrote about their unfruitful effort in "catching" images.
