I saw one of those once.

I was standing on the back porch of a buddies house and all of a sudden it went streaking across the sky.
I was like "WTF WAS THAT??"

Everyone looked but it was too late.
Then nobody beleived me. That is untill it was reported ont he news that night.
Pretty damn cool. and looks alot closer then it actually is
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty

Grand Teton National Park bolide, on this page.  :)

From the same page:
Quote
Oklahoma.  Amateur astronomer Leon Stuart tests his new camera. He takes shots of the Moon, when suddenly, he notices a very bright point on the surface of the satellite. On the negative, the point is indeed there, south-west of the great Pallas crater. For Stuart, there is no doubt : it's a meteorite impact.
Dr. Léon Stuart is the first and only human in history to have photographed an impact on the Moon.
As a matter of fact, the occurence of an event of this importance more or less once every 100,000 years.

I'd edit but it's past 120 minutes.  The cool thing about the Grand Teton object is that it had its flaming pass through the atmosphere, then flew on back out into space, something that seldom happens.
