I saw on Headline News that some houses in Chicago were damaged by meteorites - did any of you hear anything about this?

I heard about it, they hit in the city where I used to live when I lived in the south suburbs, Park Forest.

I saw a flash of light and heard sonic boom from it the other night , I thought it was lightning and thunder until next day.

I live near Interstate 80 and Harlem Ave..... I heard something a few nights ago that I thought was thunder, but it didn't sound like thunder. That must have been what I heard.

I read somewhere, I think in U.S. Weekly or something that there is a conference to decide whether or not to alert the public if the Earth was to be hit with a global killer asteroid...I say don't tell us, but also even if the teperatures went nuts, and the sun was blocked out all over the earth, do you think there would be enough technology for some people to live. If green houses with artificial lighting were built and livestock were put in indoor fields and power plants stayed open and people had a lot of canned food? I think some would survive, knowing my luck though, the asteroid would center itself right on New Jersey so I would be screwed. Either way, it is a good reason why Solar Power sucks...if the sun is ever blocked, humanity would be screwed, GO NUCLEAR POWER! KEEP HOMER'S JOB!

Lol. As far as the whole meteor theory, its really pretty interesting. There is one thats supposed to come pretty close in a few years.

I remember one passed at a very close distance this summer, they said it would have knocked off a major city, but not the planet. I remember from a movie we watched in school, this scientist said that the likely scenario is that it will come unexpectedly with 6 seconds notice, he said this is because they are hard to detect and only 10% of the skies are monitored...oh well, I hope I dont see it coming
