It probably happened too late for the Saturday early edition, which we get in Washington, but you'd think that even if they put something about it in the late edition, they'd still have another story on Sunday, perhaps augmented with comments from experts on meteors. The Times is seasonally heavy with advertising, so they need those human-interest stories to fill out the pages! I can e-mail to anybody who is interested my previously posted articles (about 300 lines) about how the media handled another spectacular astronomical event, the huge fireball of 1972 that was seen over the Rocky Mountains.
