What do you guys think?

Massive Fireball Lights Up Sky

Do you agree that it's an asteroid or something else? I don't know what to believe. I don't want to seem crazy and believe it's a ufo or something. But at the same time, alot of people disagreed it's an asteroid because it fell down so slow. Asteroids normally ascend at quick speeds. They said the fireball was seen ascending for at least 15 minutes. And Wisconsin and Iowa citizens confirm it was seen by their own eyes so I know it's not a fabricated video. It might be a prank... Just like the New Jersey UFO haux from last year...

This what I'll leave you with for tonight friends.....it's time to study the Book of REVELATION LIKE NEVER BEFORE!! You don't have to be a Christian, nor a Believer,...but if you care to know what's coming next, it's all in there! Open it up and if you don't understand any of it, ask questions.

Well 'they' are idiots as video shows it lasted only 8 - 10 seconds. To blindly take the word of the "they's" of the world really makes one look gullible and foolish.

Did you even look at the video in the link you posted, clearly the meteor lasted only 8 - 10 seconds, which is reasonable for a high atmosphere meteor skim.

Why is this not posted in the Science forum?

Why post it on the Christian sub forum? I mean why are you posting it on the religion forum anyway?

To me, this is a perfect example of why religion was invented.

Religion=mankinds attempt to explain the unknown.

No, I don't know what to think about the fireball but then again, I'm not a scientist. However, I'm not afraid to admit that I don't know. The last thing I need is any sort of "god" in my life to help me come to terms with the fact that I don't know or can't explain everything.

Because this must be a sign that the end of the world is near.You mean you don't grasp the obvious that earthquakes,tornadoes,meteorites,and such are proof that the world is about to end?
