I felt sure the cognoscenti would have picked up this widespread media story first, but

Interesting picture beside a laser show:

When I first read about this, "H," I wondered if any CAS members in the area had seen it or caught it on film.

I saw that story 'H' and was sorry I had missed the spectacle. The laser show looks very nice, but I reckon it was upstaged by a natural event. I'm saying natural, but who knows what piece of space debris came hurtling down so impressively. I take it there are no reports of strange singed objects on anyone's roof?
Realistically, I don't suppose much would have survived.
