MOSCOW (AP) — Fragments of at least one meteorite fell in the Chelyabinsk region some 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) east of Moscow, causing flashes in the morning sky and sharp explosions, Russian officials said Friday.

The office of the governor of the regrussihere were no immediate confirmed figures or specific reports on damage.

Reports conflicted on the event: A spokeswoman for Russia's Emergency Ministry, Irina Rossius, told The Associated Press that there was a meteor shower, but another ministry spokeswoman, Elena Smirnikh, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying it was a single meteorite.

The ministry said some fragments fell near the town of Satka, about 200 kilometers (120 miles) from the regional capital city of Chelyabinsk.

This is all too much for me to take seriously, if the Russians want to take themselves seriously they should probably rewrite their coverup.

1) EMP isn't caused by a meteor.
2) Why are the local police on high alert?
3) Why did they scramble the russian air force to deal with this? which leads to the next point which is
4) Why wasn't it noticed BEFORE it entered the atmosphere?

0/10 F see me after class

That looked awesome though

[dorkdotdan]

Why couldn't it have strayed south and hit North Korea?
