Shooting stars are by nature fleeting, and it's rare one is videotaped while falling to Earth.
But on the evening of March 5 (at 10:59 p.m. EST, to be exact), the University of Western Ontario's network of all-sky cameras captured video of a large fireball, said university researcher Peter Brown.
Several people contacted the university to say they had seen the light. Brown and post-doctoral associate Wayne Edwards hope to enlist the help of local residents in recovering one or more possible meteorites, which would probably weigh about a kilogram (2.2 pounds.
