area where there's a lot of people and apparently this was seen over a large area... a very bright meteorite fireball.. but it could have been a piece of space junk entering the atmosphere too. he says there are cases where meteorites have hit houses or people but only a few in the whole world.. it's not very likely. n-h-p says they were called to the mountain springs area to investigate reports of impact but didn't find anything. the astronomer says this is a good reason to go look out in the sky. you never know what might just happen when you're looking toward the stars. and there are opportunities to head to the csn observatory and take part in shows starting again in january. reporting live ew ffn llv. in early november- another object was spotted in the sky.. all over the southwest. that ended up being a test missile launch out of california. well, it was a clear sky this

current forecast still calls for clouds to keep coming and going while temps will stay above normal for a couple more days. but the next big system upstream is supposed to get here during the day on christmas eve. that should mean more wind and much cooler temps heading into the holiday and on into the weekend. we'll go ahead and mention a slight chance for a quick were filed today by the district attorneys office... holloway is the woman accused of intentionally running her car off the street and onto the sidewalk on las vegas boulevard twice, leaving 36 people injured and one woman dead... while three charges were filed today the district attorney thinks more will come in the weeks following the investigation, fox5s miguel martinez-valle has more on what the da's office is taking into account in their case... the district attorney is calling what holloway did inexcusable, and he says his office is looking at the whole chaotic scene of her plowing through people on the sidewalk of las vegas boulevard even after people tried to get her to stop when they charge her for her crimes... but people who know holloway say theyre still in shock and disbelief that she would hit dozens

car on purpose...

in her car while in vegas for about a week... holloway's family has spoken out in her defense, saying they dont believe she rammed into people on purpose...

" and the fact that while people were trying to get her

admited that a body bounced off her windshield. so ofcourse thats all taken into consideration when we determine what crimes she should be charged with." the district attorneys office says holloway could also be charged with many counts of attempted murder, shes being held without bail at the clark county detention center and shes expected to appear in court tomorrow... reporting live, miguel martinez- valle fox5news local las vegas. three of the
