Shape: Fireball | Duration:
Source:

This event was witnessed by dozens of people and captured by cameras that were fixed in the downtown area by the harbor front, as well as cameras people had with them. it was thought to have crashed in the southside hills, but nothing was ever found. i do believe it went straight into the water on the other side of the hills. i have witnessed this same type thing happening numerous times close to where i live, which is a few miles outside st john's, and do have photos i have taken with my small kodak camera. it was later thought to have probably been a meteorite, but people familiar with meteorites say it is like nothing they ever seen. i am attaching news articles that have links showing the camera footage that captured the event. http://www.Cbc.Ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/meteorite-meteor-space-unidentified-object-st-johns-south-side-hills-1.4368296 http://www.Cbc.Ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/meteor-shooting-star-st-johns-1.4368600 i have put 50 as the number of witnesses, but it was much higher than that. everyone in the down town area that were outside seen it.
