WATCH THE SKIES

Meteor 'loud enough to shake the house'

Paul Kesterson was getting ready for work Friday morning when two thunderous explosions a split second apart rocked the sky above his home.
NASA scientist Mike Mumma said the likely culprit was a 'sizable' meteor ripping apart as it blasted through the atmosphere at 100,000 mph.
Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near Earth Object monitoring program in Pasadena, Calif., said a meteor that shakes homes and windows could have been the size of a small car.

On June 4, Seattle residents got a spectacular view of a meteor breaking apart.
It exploded about 40km above Snohomish, Wash., its thunderous blast registering on many area earthquake detectors.
