Bolide (that is, a big rock) crashes into the Sudan.

Over the Sudan. It was about ten feet wide and possibly disintigrated in the atmosphere. Here’s the story:

The yield from that explosion was about 1-2 kilotons, as per the article. The Hiroshima bomb was ~15 kilotons by comparison. So, still a big boom.
And here is something that I think is excellently illustrated:

With the bolide we had time and place a day before the impact and thus far photographs have been few and far between – just one or two from telescopes before it hit the atmosphere. Statistically speaking, knowing the particulars beforehand, you would expect that someone would have had a decent camera pointed upward – even in the Sudan.

And yet we have all this UFO video / still images / anecdotal evidence. Which either means that (a) UFOs are so frequent, we have the worst space lane traffic this side of Coruscant or (b) its 99.99999999999999% garbage.

I don’t think we’re Coruscant. I’d have noticed the lightsabres by now.

Just an observation.
