Meteor Strikes Town in Russia
A meteor struck a town in Cheylabinsk, Russia a few hours ago. Reports are just starting to roll in... but there are already some insane videos on YouTube.

Was it a meteor, or was it an Iranian fighter jet?
Pretty cool, especially that first one. You wouldn't want to see that coming toward you. Looking at the third one, did the thing hit way outside of town or something? They're looking at the contrail and it takes a full minute for the sound to hit.

Flames shoot across the sky after at least one meteor hit the ground. Photo: Screen grab A meteoroid is a boulder-sized piece of rock that causes a meteor, or visible trace, as it enters the atmosphere. Pieces that survive on the ground are known as meteorites.
