..."an extinct CONSTELLATION"? The commentary is beyond idiocy.

wow, the commentary is really informative... seriously, how smart are the people they put on the news??? If that guy is actually a meteorologist he would definitely understand how a meteor burns in our atmosphere. pathetic.

Yeah, I just don't know..uh I mean they, they die, they lose that, that light, they're burning up. So profound! lol He just rewrote the book on meteors (which this obviously is not).

Start of with using Christs name in vain, end with a comment like tampons have brains, and get top rating. I dont know why I keep looking at stupid, baby whining, gov depending users comments. I agree with On The Run 167, space junk. If you come to Youtube for 100% accurate info, you are barking up the wrong tree. If I dont want to hear the audio but only want to see the video, I know where there is a little speaker shaped icon that I push and waalaa.

These people are dumb-asses.

That's space junk. Meteors don't disintegrate like that.

@LonghornPhysicist He is right. The reporter said with such conviction as of he actually believed the meteor came from a constellation :D. Aren't they supposed to supply people with correct info?

This was not a meteor but the remnant of a satellite re-entering earth's atmosphere over the area at about the same time the meteor shower took place. I can't remember the satellite but it was mistaken for a meteor. Meteors are moving at 20-40 times faster than a re-entering shuttle or disintegrating satellite.

@Hunkola the meteor shower is called Quadrantids because it appears to come from a constellation that no longer exist and was renamed to Bootes. agree with the second part of your post though :)
