I was reading about the 160 foot diameter "2012 DA14" that is flying close by earth today at an altitude of 17,000 miles at the nearest point. I thought about blogging about it but it was supposed to be a non-event. It would not impact and would not be visible on flyby. However, apparently 2012-DA14 was not alone and had some neighbors flying through space with it.
I just found a Reuters report (link) that a series of meteors have fallen across central Russia, breaking glass and with 400 people reported injured.

Update: This has hit the big news sites now. There are lots of good pictures and more information being posted all over the internet. I just read that part of a factory has collapsed (link).
While you're at it; check out the B612 foundation.

Update: Another one! A fireball over N. California. (link)
