View this clip of a metorite that hit earth in Alberta on November 20, 2008, 6 days ago! Comment on what you think about things falling from the sky, how might this affect us in the future, what can astrologists, and other scientists who study the sky, do about predicting future meteorite hits in relationship to earth?

I thnk that it is cool when things fall out of the sky because it gives sientists a reason to find out why it fell down to earth. I don't think it will affect us in the future because it is only a meteorite and it doesn't have any kind of material inside of it that will harm us. I don't think they can predict them in the future because things can happen anytime.

Well I think that this is one thing that should be addressed. There was talk about the dinosaurs dying from metorites falling to earth, and perhaps that is how our humanity will die off also? You never know with the future, anything is possible and anything can happen.

I think that this is some rock from space that fell down to earth, I guess it is a big deal and I think they can prevent this next time by using the sattelites from space to tell what is falling down and might be able to predict where it might land.

I think that thigs falling from the sky are cool, unless they hit someone...that's not cool...and I heard on the radio that next year or something like that there are like 6 meteors that have a very low chance of hitting the earth...but I guess that chance is always there...

I think this is a good thing beacuse people that study these rocks can have further progress with their studys and find out alot of stuff including when the next one might be and where so would be alot safer aswell.

I do find meterorites and comets fasinating. This will hopefully tell us some more about what is out there in space. Scientists can study the meteror and then colaborate to see what elements make up the comet. When they find out what elements it consists of then they can decide what planet/ galaxy it came from, when it might happen again, and what it affects will be on earth.

What i personally think of this type of situation is that.. things falling from the sky are really cool but, how it affects the earth by it .. is not cool! Yeah, it may look amazing because we've never seen one in real life. In the future, it may become a real impact to all of us. I think global warming could have something to do with this. :P
There's not much you can do but, be caution for the next.

I think that the metoriets could have aliens in them so everyone should stay away from the metorite. Adn the science guys shoud do something about this.

There is nothing you really can do to stop from it doing this again it's just how the earth reacts to things. It's pretty amazing what the sky can bring down to earth. I know if i had a chance to go find a piece and sell it i would. Iam not to sure were it landed but i would like to really know.

i think that the meteorite that hit saskatchewan ( supposidly ) is pretty cool because it will bring people her to check it put and it will show people that stuff really does happen in sakatchewan. astrologists can use this information to help them find meteors.

I think it's kind of strange that they havn't been able to find this thing yet because we have so many cameras and stuff up in space that we can see pretty much every angle of the earth. These falling objects could injure people or destroy their homes so there should be more scientists watching for this kind of stuff so that people can evacuate their homes.

Objects falling from they sky is very dangerous..cause you dont know where they'll land....far away from civilization or right into civilization. What i think they should do is to always moniter the sky for falling objects..and if they see on...warn us so we know that somthing is falling from the sky.

i think things falling from the sky like metorites is pretty cool but i dont really think you can predict when one will hit earth because it is just so random in choice on how they hit like it coulkd be coming streeight for earth and the astrologists could tell us to leave and then i could change course in a second and not even hit earth so it is to random to be prodicted.

I think the metorite was pretty sweet to see because we never see them them bearly. I think it won't affect the future beacuse it bearly ever happens, its just what if it hit a house your something, everyone would have been killed easly! I think scientists should hve things set up, so when there is another metorite, we will beable to know when it will come, and what time and where abouts it would land. It would be nice to beable to know that.

Wow that looked like it was the sun if you timed it right. My thoughts on things falling from the sky are it could happen and it could hurt people. So be aware of it. It might affect us in the future by causeing alot of disasters and hurting people we were lucky this time. Astrologists and other scientists who study the sky could maybe look through a telescope and see it coming or just predict and when it happens people in the area could avoide the metiorite.

I think it is cool to see things falling from the sky. But it does worry me though. Like how do we know another metorite is going to come crashing down to earth again. This happened like last thursday this is the first I heard of it. How do we know its not going to hit yorkton next. I think that the scientists and atrologist should be studying what is coming towards the earth and when approximatly. And if they know that it going to hit somewhere they should tell the town or even farm people if it is going to hit. This might affect us severely in the future or it might not. It might affect us severely because maybe more metorites might crash down to earth, or this was only a one time thing and it won't affect us at all.

I think the metorite that hit Alberta was something that no one really saw coming. I know it must've worried and shocked the people who got to experience it falling a week ago. It's also good that no one was hurt, which could've been catastrophic. I think that these metorite's falling could help many of us learn more about space and what's happening up there. I know I personally don't know much about space, except your basic knowledge and a little extra. Scientists and Astrologists can't really stop metorites from falling, but I don't see why they couldn't of predicted this. Don't they have a ton of cameras up in space that would've allowed us to predict this? I'm also amazing that people are actually willing to pay between $10,000-$12,000 just for one kg of the metorite! That's an insane amount of money for a little piece.

I think this may affect us in the future by having more of them and bigger one hitting the earth more Freakquently. The scientists could try and stop the metorite by blowing it up or putting of course from earth.

That is pretty cool how the metorite is so bright, but it isn't good if things start falling from the sky more often because there is a good change of it hitting poeple, animals, or buildings. I think that astrologists should be paying more attention to all the kinds of cameras they have up in space so that they can warn people when metorites are going to hit the earth.

I've heard about meteorite's falling from the sky but I've never seen one in real life. One of my brothers friends said he saw it when he was on his way home from Yorkton. They said if you find this meteor you will get $12 000 for reward. I think this might affect the future by more meteorite showers and we must know how to prevent them or be able to warn people about them. If more meteors hit earth there will be the odd one that would be pretty big and would leave a crater.

I thought this was a really neat video and it was cool how the meteorite got so bright. We should how people (astrologists) studying the sky to make sure there are no meteorites coming, or else it might land in a city and my hurt or kill people. And if its a big meteor, who knows what could happen?

This may and may nto affect us in the future. Yes its bad because it leaves holes in the earth and someone can get hurt, But its ot every day you see one. It can help astrologists to descove new things, and see whats happenign to the earth.
