Survellance cam video of fireball The fireball that streaked over the U.S. Southwest on Wednesday night gave skywatchers a spectacular show -- and prompted immediate speculation on Twitter of UFOs.

But an expert told the Los Angeles Times there was a more natural explanation: It was a likely "near-Earth asteroid," no bigger than a basketball.

3. Not that crappy, really.

Looks like the fireball I saw pass over the central coast of California, many years ago. Same greenish coloration. That one was headed toward the ocean. No video cameras caught it at about 1 A.M.
