Local cops film meteor flight over Edmonton, were looking for doughnuts
The blogosphere and Facebook…group…here in Edmonton is all abuzz this morning with news of last nights delivery from outer space. No, aliens didn’t pick central Alberta as their locale for making first contact. I would think they would have better sense then that, and go some place warmer. Anyhow, last night a meteor entered the atmosphere over western Canada, and made for a quite a light show for residents from Alberta all the way to Manitoba. Here’s some footage of the entry from a police dash cam that I dug up from YouTube.
The cruiser was facing west bound at the time. During this I was on the highway heading north towards downtown, so all I saw was a white flash like from a lightning zap. From my understanding, NAVCAN is still unsure of where the meteor landed, or if it landed.

That looks like better footage than what CTV got from its parking lot security cam. I don’t even know how they would even begin to try to recover the meteorite.
