On Monday, a large meteor fell over Bangkok, Thailand in the middle of the day. It exploded before reaching the ground, creating a stunning display. The incident was captured on several dashboard cameras. Despite fears that it was an exploding airplane, astronomers have confirmed that it was a bolide, which is an exploding meteor. The Sydney Morning Herald (auto-start video) reports:
But Thailand's Astronomical Society confirmed it was a rare phenomenon called a "bolide" or exploding meteor that came with a thunderous roar across the sky near Bangkok on Monday.
Society president Prapee Wiraporn said the meteor was extraordinary because it was very bright and seen in daytime.
"This is a natural, normal phenomenon because small meteors fall to earth every day but what we saw was similar to one over Chelyabinsk in Russia two years ago," she said.

So Khrushchev used this device to track and then capture the US Santa Claus spy and then use brainwashing techniques to turn him into a double agent. All of this is of course what really led to the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
