It may turn out to be completely coincidental however that may not ease the nerves tonight of some Nebraska residents.
From Spaceweather.com. At 9 p.m. Central Time on Dec. 16th, a very bright meteor lit up the completely overcast sky like lightning in southeast Nebraska,” reports Trooper Jerry Chab of the Nebraska State Patrol.
“It flashed for approximately 2 seconds and was followed by ground shaking, which prompted many calls by the public to law enforcement in a three county wide area.” The USGS says there was a magnitude 3.5 earthquake near Auburn, Nebraska, at 8:53 pm Wednesday night, about the same time and place as the fireball.

I did not feel anything in Sidney. Strange?
Yes. It is a sign that the end is near.
Interesting.. all of the billions spent on sky/stellar research, communications, and planetary exploration and we have to hear something like this from area residents and state troopers??? ha..ha.. be afraid, be very afraid…
I live in Topeka KS. At 1:30 a.m. the morning of Dec. 16, almost five hours after the earthquake in NE, I woke up and found myself being shaken from side to side. I was have asleep and my only thought was to make it to the bathroom. One slipper was tossed out of my hand, the shaking was so intense. I was eventually tossed onto the floor. It was a side to side movement and probably lasted one minute. When I tell people this, they can’t believe it, because they didn’t experience it. But I remember the slipper flying from my hand and me landing on the floor. It must have been an aftershock. Could it have been?
