Monday night ar app. 6:15p.m. I viewed a spectacular meteorite
(meteor,bollide?)event. From the Grand Passage(Westport harbour) on Brier
Island I saw 2 bright white lights falling from the sky to the southeast
over St. Mary's Bay. Then a 3rd huge orange ball following along with the
other 2. The sky lit up in an orange blaze for a few moments. Initially I
asssumed it was an Aurora aircraft from Greenwood doing search and rescue
operations and dropping flares (which I have seen in the past and this event
looked just like that). I was stunned for a moment, heard no aircraft and
then realized that it must have been a meteorite breaking up. It was quite
awesome.
