One of the most brilliant videos was taken by a police car's dashcam in Edmonton.

"There's a very good chance it was what we call a bolide, which is a meteorite crossing the sky at extremely quick velocity -- very, very fast -- and as it hits the atmosphere at about 400,000 feet, travelling at about 60 kilometres per second, this is the incredible light show that it creates."—Randy Atwood, space educatorCTV.ca: Mysterious Fireball May Have Never Touched Down (November 21, 2008)

"It looked like a lighting bolt, the most intense lighting bolt you've ever seen, and maybe the size of three...It seemed the most intense areas where it was being reported was in the west-central part of Saskatchewan and the east-central part of Alberta, with the most intense reports coming in from Melfort, Saskatchewan and Lloydminster...and right at Red Pheasant First Nation."—Saskatoon reporter Mike CionaCTV.ca: Mysterious Fireball May Have Never Touched Down (November 21, 2008)
