[meteorite-list] Sky detonation video

[Chris Peterson]

While there are several reasonable explanations for what this video 
shows (I think it's probably a high altitude balloon rupturing), what's 
most interesting, and also very depressing, is to read the comments that 
have been posted there. They really demonstrate the appalling lack of 
public knowledge about science.
