Southern Californians from Santa Barbara to San Diego reported seeing a fireball that forecasters said was most likely a meteor streaking across the sky.

The National Weather Service says the sightings reported starting at about 8 p.m. Wednesday night are most likely associated with the South Taurids meteor shower.

Officials say that shower has been especially active in early November. Astronomers say the Taurids don’t bring big numbers of visible meteors but a high percentage of extremely bright ones that look like fireballs.

Twitter lit up with reports of the sightings, though few if any were able to capture the streak on photo or video. This video was posted on YouTube.

Comedian Eli Braden tweeted that he “just saw an absolutely INSANE meteor in the sky above Glendale, CA … Either that or the alien invasion has begun.”

Cell phone video of car fire and explosion on the streets of Colorado Springs is going viral.

The car was part of an accident Tuesday where the driver was rear-ended.

The blast sent debris into the sky, but none of the responders on the scene were hurt.

A couple of vehicles suffered blast damage. One of the drivers was arrested for DUI.

Georgia Institute of Technology freshmen were greeted with a high-energy convocation speech by sophomore Nicholas Selby.

Yelling the expression “you’re At Georgia Tech, you can do that”. throughout, Selby broke with tradition.

Selby speaks from some experience.

He co-leads Georgia Tech’s team that built and raced a solar-powered car in the Formula Sun Grand Prix and is a president’s scholar, representing the top 2% of enrolled students at the university.

If the blues can be identified by the so-called call and response idiom, then these sheep have got the blues, and these New Zealand tourists are impressarios.

Or, perhaps they just aren’t that familiar with sheep.

In golf, it’s all about the follow through.

In Thailand, it’s all about the marshal arts.

In this video, it’s both.
