It's probably too big or the wrong format.

How big is it, and what format is it in? Avi?

You'll need to upload it to some webspace and provide a link.. or email it to me and i'll host it.

I've seen one too, dude.
If it's the one I saw then it's not real.
I'll try and upload to a webspace and I'll link it ASAP.

Velocity seemed to be too low to be a real meteor or even space junk.Looked like a hollywood graphic in the sky and then an ordinary explosion on the ground.
I hate to say this but even the bits of Columbia did not explode on impact.
Objects entering the Earths atmosphere do most of their light and smoke show at high altitude.When and if they hit the ground they should be down to terminal velocity for the size shape and density of the remaining object.If they are not down to terminal velocity if you were anywhere close ,it would be the last thing you ever saw.The lump of metal debris landing some seconds after impact is the other giveaway.Just my two bobs worth.
All the same though if it is real where are the fragments.They sell on the open market for very high prices.

Myth Busted, nice motorbikes in the back of the pick-up, in one shot, then vanish when the car emerges from the smoke.

It is a well made stunt though, you gotta give credit for that level of special effects.

Also if it was real it would have been on every news program around the world

Yeah, it's clearly faked, but I bet they had fun making it.

Too much smoke, not enough impact damage ie things and people survived.
