Wasn't quite sure where to put this, hope it is okay in here.

A CHILEAN jetliner approaching New Zealand came within 20 seconds of being hit by blazing objects hurtling down to Earth, New Zealand aviation officials said today.
US space officials said it was most likely a close encounter with a disintegrating meteor, denying assertions from New Zealand officials that the LAN Chile plane narrowly missed being blasted by Russian space debris that was returning to Earth ahead of schedule. |
Other meteor and similar reports in the forum here.

It's funny how these days this stuff is reported as a meteor. Ten years ago it would have been reported as a UFO.
Let's be clear - they don't KNOW it was a meteor, it's just a guess, same as it would have been ten years ago.
Shows how even the papers don't want to talk up our subject these days.
