OMG; I JUST SAW A HUGE METEOR STREAK ACROSS THE SKY!
I'm at least 80% sure it was just a regular meteor, the kind that burns up in the atmosphere. As for the rest:
5% is "well, maybe it was a helicopter going to the hospital's landing pad", but A: it was moving way, way too fast for that, and B: the normal flight path is much more to the east; it was coming from south-east, going north-west, and C: no helicopter noises.
5% is "OMG, THE ALIENS ARE COMING; AREN'T THEY?" but that is mainly because I'm on a bit of a Torchwood streak right now, and with the direction it's more like they are leaving anyway.
10% is "OMG; IT'S THE END OF DAYS; THE RUSSIANS/TERRORISTS/WHOMEVER ARE STARTING WOULD WAR 3 AND NOW WE HAVE TO LIVE IN A NUCLEAR WASTELAND!!!11!!" but why would they send rockets towards Oslo first? Does not compute.
1000000000% is "YEAH OK; SO IF I HAVEN'T BEEN KILLED BY A PRESSURE WAVE BEFORE I FINISH TYPING; THEN IT*S PROBABLY NOT THE PLOT OF DEEP IMPACT; ARMAGEDDON OR F_ING 2012 WE ARE LIVING IN RIGHT NOW" because, really, with the earthquakes and everything, I wouldn't be TOTALLY surprised if it was trufax.
I have seen meteors before, only one that was this bright though, and they are SCARY. Usually, I forget that we are just a few thousand kilometers from space rocks capable of destroying all life as we know it. The question is, when it happens - are you going to die happy knowing that you lived your life to the fullest? My answer is, right now, NO.
