That looks just like the Scud Missile attacks I lived through in Saudi Arabia back in Op: Desert Storm...
Thats about what they looked like as they fell from the sky...

I dunno.....kinda looked like that Craftsman Tool box that Space shuttle Girl lost. If you look close you can see the 3/8 combination wrench fall out just before impact.

If you watch the video again, you can tell its an Air Burst... You see it get really bright then just shimmering streaks trail away. It was probably at a less of an angle than it appeared and came no where near land fall..

How big would that have been? The size of a fridge, or bigger?
[edit] Heck, maybe smaller, I'm just guessing.

Depending on the angle of decent, it could have been as small as a basket ball, or "tool bag"...

A Ha'tak would have been bigger, and besides, some kid with a telescope would have seen a big "pyramid space ship"
