This is next from Rattler....

"And so we went on as before, and then there was this faint bang in the distance, then several more. Then they got louder and louder... so we wondered what was happening, when there was this almighty flash just outside the porch. So we went to take a look and we're amazed to see this......krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk"

"No one would have believed that in the first years of the 21st century that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swam and multiply in a drop of water. few men even considered the possibility of life on an other planet and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regared this Earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surley, they drew their planes against us......."

Which Orchestra is this, I have a couple of old recordings of similar compositions (Normal rock songs played by an orchestra) with the London Symphony Orchestra. Nice touch to add the Richard Burton reading of it.

According to the blurb m8, it's Jeff Wayne conducting The Black Smoke Band and The ULLAdubULLA Strings. Apparently.

Fragments of a huge meteorite that lit up the skies across Alberta and Saskatchewan last week have been found near the border city of Lloydminster, University of Calgary scientists say.

U of C planetary scientist Dr. Alan Hildebrand and graduate student Ellen Milley announced Friday morning they located several meteorite fragments late Thursday afternoon.

They believe thousands of meteorite bits are strewn over 20 square kilometres near the Battle River.

Friday afternoon, they led a group of reporters to the site — a region called Buzzard Coulee, about 40 kilometres from Lloydminster.

Meteorites fell near Buzzard Coulee, Sask., about 40 kilometres southeast of Lloydminster. There, close to a frozen pond, numerous small rocks and pebbles could be seen that the scientists said were from the meteorite. No large chunks were spotted, however.

The fireball that streaked across western Canadian skies on Nov. 20 was witnessed by thousands. Researchers believe it was a 10-tonne fragment from an asteroid.

It was also captured on video by a number of people.

Reporters were told those observations, combined with the physical evidence, give scientists a treasure trove of data that could give them a better understanding of the solar system.

:-[:-[ sorry guys I was practicing my landings

LOL

Interesting that something as small (in relative terms) as a 10 tonne rock would reach ground level. I tend to think of meteors as being bigger than that. Been watching too many films I guess.
