light that's not manmade is a meteor... if it makes it to the ground and someone finds it- that's a meteorite.. he tells us nasa doesn't really care about meteors becuase there are thousands everyday but when bright ones are spotted over urban areas people get really excited... as we saw on social media.. it's pretty common but it's not that common to see one this bright basically over an 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

able to tell that forecasting the exact arrival and departure times of the waves of clouds we've been seeing isn't always easy. we were callin would have kept the afternoon high in the mid 50s. but mother nature had other ideas, and the clouds cleared out, giving us more sunshine and moving the high past the 60 degree mark. the 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 charges, against the woman accused of driving into several people on the strip. the district attorney cal fox 5's miguel martinez-valle has more information on what theyre taking into account when filing charges. well prosecutors are really taking

account when pressing these charges against holloway... from her intentionally driving her car off the street onto the sidewalk and hitting almost 40 people, to her, as they have described it, stoic and undistressed response to her actions... was not a lady that ran a red light, this was not a lady that made a wrong turn. this was a lady that turned onto a sidewalk, ran over many people, continued to drive on a sidewalk, went back on to the street, and then back onto an intersection where there was a crowd of people." the district attorneys office filed three charges against the las vegas strip crash suspect... and these three charges alone carry heavy penalties... officials e saying the death penalty is a consideration for her murder charge, her 3-year-old daughter, who was in the car at the time of the crash, is currently with child protective services and a new nevada law makes leaving the scene of an accident punishable by up to 20 years in prison... " i think its a fair thing to say its a starting point

anticipate multiple charges." holloway didnt give a reason as to why she ended up on the sidewalk but did tell police she was having a stressfull day and had been living 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... " you know shes exhausted, she's not this villain that theyre creating her to be." in a press conference the president of the oregon based non-profit holloway was a part of spoke of his positive experience her... " lakeisha was a rolemodel, she was a rolemodel for many of the youth that we serve in our community." he said holloway gave no signs of trouble when she graduated the portland opportunities industrialization center, but he mentioned they lost contact with her once she graduated and moved away... " we had two staff members in particular who spent a lot of time with lakeisha and they were shocked to hear what had happened."

saying that videos and witness testinomy show that the crash was not an accident... " and the fact that she kept driving while people were trying to get her to stop, she 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." holloway could also be charged with counts of attempted murder for hitting people with the car... shes being held without bail at the clark county detention center and is supposed to appear in court tomorrow... reporting live, miguel martinez- valle fox5news local las vegas. the crash left at least 35 people injured and killed one, three of the victims from the deadly crash remain hospitalized in critical condition at u-m-c. and three patients are in good condition at sunrise hospital
