-FUPPETS- SAYS METEORS RULE!

Oh yeah. There is nothing -FUPPETS- loves more than astronomical phenomena.

On September 25th, in western Ontario, a fireball was seen and filmed by various people. This meteor was estimated to be the size of a child's tricycle. When it entered the atmosphere the friction caused it to grow in brightness until it was about 100 times brighter than a full Moon! Amazing! This bad boy was moving about 13 miles per second, which is haul-ass indeed.

Some of this footage comes from cameras at the University of Western Ontario, which luckily were positioned to capture this event.
