   Via Spaceweather.com - there was [1]a fireball over Denver:

     Something from space disintegrated over Denver, Colorado, this
     morning around 6:20 am MST (1320 GMT): video. It was not a meteor.
     The fireball was the decaying body of a Soyuz U rocket that
     launched the COROT space telescope on Dec. 27th. Click here to view
     a ground track of the rocket's last orbit.

   ..and a (very small) [2]UFO hit a house in Jersey:

     January 4, 2007 -- An unidentified falling object - possibly a
     meteor - streaked from the heavens and slammed into a New Jersey
     home, startling a family and setting off an out-of-this-world
     mystery, authorities said yesterday.

   to Planetary Defense: A Study of Modern Warfare Applied to
   Extra-Terrestrial Invasion is in the mail..
