“Mystery fireball lights up sky over Bangkok”
2
Asteroid? Balloon? Space junk? Social media in Bangkok, Thailand lit up Monday morning as commuters posted photos and videos of a mystery fireball that briefly illuminated the capital's sky. The fireball was seen from various locations throughout the city during the morning rush hour. The object briefly flared up before dying out, streaking toward Earth. Dashcam footage from across the city was uploaded to social media, some clearly showing the path of the object as it burns up in the clear blue morning sky. "There is a high possibility that the object spotted this morning...is an object from outer space," Saran Poshyachinda, Deputy Director of National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand, told CNN. "It looks like an asteroid traveling to Earth and grazing through the air and it turned into a fireball.” From the video and photographic evidence, he said, he estimated the object burned up about 100 kilometers (62 miles) above the ground.

In Other News What will his first day back at work be like? Will protests greet Walter Palmer, the American dentist vilified worldwide for killing a prized African lion, when he returns to his Bloomington, Minnesota, practice Tuesday? Or will he slip in with little fanfare? Palmer's office reopened several weeks ago without him and now he's decided the time is right for him to start back to work. "I need to get back to my staff and my patients, and they want me back. That's why I'm back.” Police plan to keep an eye on developments at the dental practice, but no officers will be on hand.
