Probably depends on the angle of entry. Consider its velocity though, and the time it’d take to descend through just a couple miles of atmosphere once it becomes brightly visible.
Movie meteors are very, very slowed down. Cinematic effect and all.
The Chicxulub impactor struck at about a 60° angle. As fast as it was moving (20km per second) they probably wouldn’t have seen anything prior to the actual impact. They would however see the giant ash and dust plume since Chicxulub made a crater 100km wide and 30km deep.
*200 km wide and 20 km deep according to wikipedia
Also I’ve just discovered what happens when you google chicxulub
Is there an Easter egg? Tried it on mobile didn’t get anything, will try to remember to try it on desktop.
Yeah a little meteor flies across the screen and a few seconds later it shakes.
I kinda miss when Google was just the company with a useful search engine that did cute shit like that.
Yeah just tried it now, it’s cute, it’s indeed a shame I can never appreciate these the same way.
More recent evidence suggests the crater is 300 km (190 mi) wide, and the 180 km (110 mi) ring is an inner wall of it.

Well they couldn’t depicted the T-Rex gasping “OH NO” with it’s hands over it’s mouth could they?
T-rex was a natural pearl clutcher.
Was the TRex alive for the extinction even?
I know some some dinosaurs are closer living to us than the first ones.
T. Rex dates to the late Cretaceous so it’s possible they were around during the Chicxulub impact, and a very short time afterward.
contemplating on their life choices I bet
“Shoulda fucked Tina Rex”
Rrawrr😞
