RCMP receive dozens of calls for reported fireball in sky

Hundreds of people in Alberta and B.C. took to social media to report seeing a giant fireball illuminate the night sky. RCMP told media it received dozens of calls about what seemed to be the same event.
Posting to Twitter from locations as far apart as Calgary and Hornby Island, B.C., the amazed stargazers described seeing a flaming object turn the sky an eerie green before fading into a dark orange as it approached the horizon. Mainstream TV channels as well as the social space carried the videos recorded over the CCTV cameras of few houses nearby. Some described a loud bang that shook homes and high rise buildings.
Kevin Skrepnek, chief fire information officer for B.C., tweeted that he was on a patio in Nelson when “the entire sky lit up. The American Meteor Society said that it received over 90 reports about the fireball event all the way from British Columbia to Saskatchewan to the states of Washington, Idaho and Montana. According to its latest estimated trajectory, the society believes the fireball entered the atmosphere near Boswell, B.C., and terminated near Meadow Creek, B.C., roughly 100 kilometres away.
