      <![CDATA[also, GUYS, it's generally referred to as a "vapor trail" since whatever type of ice the meteor likely contained sublimated in the atmosphere. and the larger meteor that buzzed us hasn't been tracked for years; it was only discovered last year. hence the name "2012 DA14". #knowitall

      <![CDATA[@9 - If (and that's a BIG "if") a watching device (satellite, Earth-based telescope etc.) was looking in just the right spot at the just the right time it *might* be able to detect a 10 meter wide asteroidal object a day in advance, perhaps two.  Twice that size buys you a couple of weeks, and 10 times that size buys you a couple of years (as evidenced by today's asteroid fly-by which has been tracked for years).  10 meters of bolide can cause significant damage to the area of impact, but today's technology doesn't give us much warning.  Sleep well tonight.  It could happen any time...

      <![CDATA[@5 No, that's the meteor trail. The large "boom" (and subsequent smaller ones) are the shock waves produced by the meteor as it passed through our atmosphere at several times the speed of sound. Just like you see lighting before you hear it, the smoke trail from the meteor burning up was visible well before the the sound it produced reached the earth.
