This is really something – this meteor was huge and was actually filmed as it streaked through the sky over Edmonton, Alberta in Canada.

From the Astronomy Picture of the Day website description:

What if you’re driving down the street and an object from space shoots across the sky right in front of you? Such was the case last week for many people in south central Canada. Specifically, an extremely bright fireball, presumably a desk-sized meteor from deep space, flashed across the sky just after sunset on 2008 November 20.
