Obviously, the alien overlords have sucked up the Iranian underground nuclear lab and detonated it in another part of the world. This after distracting us by sending an asteroid our way.

Just last week a CNN anchor asked Bill Nye if the asteroid passing today was from "global warming". Seriously. I'm sure there will be people who say that's what caused this too. There will be alien theories. Top secret military theories. etc. Whenever anything incredible happens, it has the effect of dragging the loonies out into the sun.

Other events (some much larger, like the Tunguska event) have occurred in the past and since practically nobody was around, it's not very noteworthy. It's not really that big. Comparatively, if this had been like the Tunguska event (also Siberia, in 1908), we likely would be looking at the total annihilation of the city and everyone in it, since it destroyed everything on the ground inside a 30-mile wide area. This one broke windows for several miles away. Tunguska broke windows hundreds of miles away. The glow from it was so bright people as far away as England saw it. The closest eyewitness was 40 miles away, and the heat from it was so intense his shirt caught fire. Something like that over a populated area today would be the biggest mass casualty in history.

In 50 years, I can't remember an event where more than a couple of people were hurt by a meteor, and now 1000 are hurt. There's never been an asteroid this size and this close to Earth in that same time at least. The odds that these are mere coincidence: astronomical.

This thing this morning came from a totally different trajectory than the asteroid passing by later today. I feel like a doofus for not even thinking of #2. Duh. It should be very easy to know if the thing was coming from the same direction. It did not. Therefore it's almost certainly unrelated.

Events like this are not THAT rare... perhaps once every 3-10 years by my quasi-knowledgeable estimation. But since most of the Earth is practically uninhabited (or ocean), there usually isn't anyone around to see them. What's extraordinary is that this happened over a city. Cities make up less than 1% of the Earth's surface. It also happened under favorable conditions - perfectly clear weather in the early morning - bright enough to be able to see everything, but dark enough that the sun isn't drowning the light out. We could not have asked for a better setup to witness it. A very large one happened over western Canada in... 1978? Something like that. Nobody on the ground saw it, because it was in the middle of Bumfuckville at 4 AM, but everyone on an airplane flying nearby did.
