Short but cool video. Stuff like this is why I wan to build a night-sky camera that is on all of the time and can record events like this. Though, I want to move first. I plan to live somewhere where you can see the sky a lot better than I can where I am now.

>Incredible footage has captured the moment an asteroid smashed through Earth's atmosphere over Siberia. The space rock, designated COWECP5, appeared in the night sky at 11:14pm local time (11:14am ET) hours after NASA's asteroid detection system put out the warning. Locals posted videos on social media showing the asteroid streaking through the night sky and bursting into a ball of flames before disappearing into the abyss.
