"Chunk of rock" to hit earth's atmosphere tonight!

http://www.skyandtelescope.com/news/home/30528359.html

Discovered just yesterday and confirmed by many, this 10' wide chunk of rock is expected to hit the earth's atmosphere tonight over Northern Sudan.

Quote:

The energy released should be approximately equal to one kiloton of conventional explosives. Fortunately, no damage is expected, since the blast will take place in the upper atmosphere. Some fragments may fall to the ground, but the area is sparsely inhabited and they're unlikely to hit anyone.

The sight and sound, however, should be amazing — especially since the sky will still be dark when this meteor hits. The fireball may be visible over much of northern Africa, the Middle East, and possibly even southern Europe.

I haven't decided if I should :eek: or :cool: .
