This will give the UFO theorist more to work with, just like the Siberian event of 1908.
Is there a meteor disaster movie coming out soon? Maybe its just a publicity stunt. :))
-
this reminds me of that movie "Armageddon", somebody call Bruce Willis :o
-
Anyone else here remember 1975's Meteor with Sean Connery and Natalie Wood?

I wish I had been able to forget that film!

Well, yeah, the actors and actresses struggled to do the best they could with the material they had. A shame in some ways because there were some interesting ideas there.

Alvis, This is one of my favorite builds of yours, of course I say that every time I see your work! :)

It was a great idea, later done much better by "Deep Impact" and much less intelligently, but more excitingly by "Armageddon". Goes to show you can have a stellar cast but a poor script and lackluster directing drag it all down. The SFX were sub par as well. It does fit in well with the spate of disaster films from the era however. My personal fave of all of them is "Disaster '76" the film within a film seen in "Drive-In (1976)". :) Drive-in is a funny little film about a drive-in movie theatre in a small Texas town, but the movie they show is an amalgam of every disaster film up to that point.

Asteroids was one of my favorite games in college (yes, I am that old) and when I first saw you build in Silly Week, I laughed out loud.
As to the Disaster films, may all be coming true. Was another meteor today over SF.

There are bright meteors every day, over just about every spot in the world. The difference is people were primed to look up at the sky, based on the small passing asteroid and that Act of American Aggression over Russia.
