Meteor sighted over Georgian Bay
Monday, March 17th, 2008
The university of Western astronomy department cameras along with a number of cameras in Ontario caught a rare sight at around 11 pm on March 5, 2008. A meteorite was spotted at about 94 km altitude and broke up at about 24 km above Georgian Bay possibly leaving bits strewn across the Bay’s ice surface. It looks like from the U of W map on google the region appears to be northwest of the North Limestone Islands west of the McCoys. Read more info at Parry Sound North Star.
We hope to learn more about this over the next few months - and will post more info here if that happens.
