Fire ball Over Las Vegas, was it a comet?
Tonight 11/18/09 I saw a ball of fire! it was a little past 11pm, I was driving North on Haulapi towards Charleston on the west side of Las vegas, as I was driving I saw a ball of fire shoot down from the sky, then it went behind a wall near a sub-divison, within seconds a bright bright wall of light came over the whole area, more like a "blast" of light. I did not hear an explosion though. Maybe it was much farther and it just looked close, all I know that it was freaky??
my wife and a co-worker was waiting outside of their work for me, just across the street from red-rock casino, her co-worker told me she saw a crazy lightning strike in the distance and that a few mintues before it happend, the lights in the area flickered. Did anyone else see this??? I’m from Chicago, is this common here in the desert states?
You saw one of the Leonids, a major meteor shower that is in the skies tonight. This happens every year around this time. The Earth passes through a band of small rocks left behind by a comet, and what you see is them burning up in the upper atmosphere.
A comet would not move fast enough so that you could see it moving. Unlike the meteors, a comet would normally be several million miles away.

Yes NYX, report me for saying God.

It was not a comet.

What you saw was a fireball or bolide, a very bright meteor. We’ve just had a major meteor shower, the Leonids, and it may have been one of those. These were visible all over the world, even in Chicago.
It was not a comet, as these are slow moving, and none is currently visible to the naked eye.

Comets are no fireballs, but rather blurry and faint objects, made of dust and gas.

While comets are among the fastest objects in the solar system, when you can see them, they have to be far away, and thus move very slow through the sky. Despite movies like Armagaddon, you wouldn’t see much of the coma of a comet from close, even when you are close to it. This real image is taken from 600 km away:

The official definition of a fireball is a "meteor brighter than any of the planets", what you saw was likely a bolide, a very bright meteor (magnitude -14 or more).

The flickering of the light sounds more like a common coincidence - you don’t remember the usual flickering of the lights when nothing special happens, despite this happening every day.
