Meteor in the neighbourhood, apparently
Posted: Wed Nov 27, 2013 6:45 amLooks like a pretty sizable meteor came down just a little to the east of here. Nothing beyond a boom and a light show, though. Neat, but nothing noticeable from Ottawa.

An area from West Montreal to Cornwall, Ont., to upstate New York was reportedly rocked by the sound of a massive explosion at around 8 p.m. Tuesday, but with no immediate evidence of structural damage on the ground, residents began speculating that the boom had come from the cosmos.
“People are reporting a blue flash of light that lasted a couple of seconds and then a loud booming sound. This has the hallmark of a meteor blast,” said Andrew Fazekas, a spokesman with the Montreal Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. “It could be anywhere from the size of a living room sofa to the size of a car.”
