Calgary Fireball
Colourful start to commute as fireball explodes in sky

The commute to work got a little bit brighter yesterday when a 
multi-coloured fireball streaked across the Calgary sky and exploded 
like fireworks.

Patricia Larson was driving to work with her husband on 12 Ave. S.W., 
about 6:30 a.m., when she saw a bright blue-green light smear in a 
north-south direction and then break apart into fragments after about 20 
seconds.

"It was so bright, a very cool colour -- I haven't seen one that bright 
and not that big," she said.

Martin Lewanzick was driving on Glenmore Tr., at 84 St. S.E., about the 
same time when he saw the fireball that he described as white and blue 
in colour explode before his eyes. "It was really low in the sky, it was 
really wild -- it looked like a welder's torch," he said. "It blew up 
right in front of me and broke into a million pieces and fizzled."

Alan Hildebrand, a University of Calgary planetary scientist and 
co-ordinator of the Canadian Fireball Reporting Centre, said he will 
review photos and talk to witnesses to determine if the space rock left 
behind any meteorites. The show was also seen in Edmonton, Red Deer and 
Regina areas.
