Search on for space rock

Astronomy experts say it's possible a piece of space rock flew across the sky 
Thursday night north of Edmonton. 

But Frank Florian, director of space sciences at the Telus World of Science in 
Edmonton, said he is unsure if this space rock actually hit the ground. 

Florian received several calls about the sighting with reports that the flash 
was spotted near Gibbons and Redwater just after 10 p.m. It was reportedly a 
greenish-white colour and moving towards the west, he said. 

While this recent sighting was nowhere near as spectacular and widely reported 
as the famous meteor in November, fragments of which were discovered near 
Lloydminster, Florian still encourages those who saw a flash in the sky to 
report their sightings to the Meteorite and Impacts Advisory Committee's 
website at http://miac.uqac.ca.
