Spectacular meteorite airburst in Northern Alberta

I didn't see it from my place in Calgary (the basement windows face the wrong direction), and I'm cursing myself out over that one.

"Natasha has just come up to the window from the courtyard and opened it wider so that the air may enter more freely into my room. I can see the bright green strip of grass beneath the wall, and the clear blue sky above the wall, and sunlight everywhere. Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full."

I didn't see the news, I had only read a few words about this.
Did it hit the ground? Did it vaporize a few houses? Did it contain any alien deadly bacteries?
Probably not, as for the video I just saw, the meteor did a nice fireworks and burned out just above the ground. So much for the 'no rocks in the sky' statement. Next time I go out I'd better carry an umbrella
No, seriously, I think there is no guarantee that this is the last rock falling on us. I hope there isn't the rest of a hypothetical meteor cluster anywhere near, or there might be more of it than just a fireworks. It would be wise to pay an attention to the news nowadays, if something more shows up in the sky.

That is some damn impressive boom-boom. I wonder how big the thing was. I don't feel like looking it up, but IIRC, the one that blew up half of Siberia wasn't all that big.
