  That's really strange, I've heard nothing about that. I even checked the websites of our major news services and I found nothing.

  Strange, I haven't heard anything either. And I check the news regularly everyday.
  
  Where'd you get that news Randy? I'd like to read that if it's on the web somewhere.
  
  Also, that Bennayes town doesn't sound very Finnish and at least I have not heard of it before. Would it be possible that it's a place with the same name in US or another country?
  
  In any case, this is very interesting and I'd like to know more about it.

  Now there was a big story in TV news. They were showing video of the guy who found a hole in the ice of a small pond (which is also in those pictures). They are not sure though if it was caused by a meteorite or just a gas eruption in the pond.

  Yes, it was in the news today and they indeed don't know for sure what really caused it, but they'll probably examine the bottom soon and find out if it was a meteorite or not. I'll let you know when/if there comes any more news about it later.

  Forgot to mention, that many people had also seen some light phenomenons in the sky during the same day. Though those could've been as well people still shooting some new years rockets, but who knows.
  I actually believe more in the meteorite theory myself. That gas one just seems a bit too weird to me and afterall small meteorites fall from the sky all the time anyway. Though most of them usually burn in the atmosphere and never reach the ground.

  The light phenomenons were Vorlons. All is clear, you just do not understand!
