Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Meteor? ~8:00P.M. Central Time, 1Nov2010
A reader from Canada writes to ask, "Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Around 8:00P.M. Central Time, November 1, 2010, My wife and I saw a bright light travel across the night sky. It was a steady path, very large and gets smaller as it went past the Big Dipper, southwest to northeast and it disappeared; did anyone else see this?."
