Wonder if that meteor can be located some how?

Imagine if one timed all the hours wasted by humanity watching YouTube videos when nothing [at all] is happening:

We could probably build several great pyramids [the hard way] per passing minute of every day of the year.

We need a real time app to remove the wasted time so we can watch more videos of nothing much at all happening to improve our cough "productivity."

Hope this helps?

More and more we are forced to slog through videos to get information when we could just as easily read about them and faster. Some of the videos are excruciatingly dull or badly-done. This was an exception, at least we weren't forced to watch commercials.

I agree entirely. The British Broadcasting Corporation [BBC] has a highly paid "news film star" in front of every news scene, large or small, whether anything is happening or not. And it very rarely is while the cameras are rolling.

The manic hand waving and overacting as the "news star" tells the story all started with Richard Attenborough. Who always insisted that he was infinitely more important than the countless and endlessly dull and repetitive wild animal films he churned out like [endangered animal] sausages. Which he always had to front and describe in excruciating, breathless detail while completely blocking the view.

The BBC has a bottomless pit of corrupting wealth from a compulsory license fee. Which every poverty-stricken citizen must pay, or spend time in jail. While multimillionaire BBC staff ponce around in front of the camera like pompous, village dramatics hams. Deliberately reducing the IQ of the British population to their own, knuckle dragging, tawdry level seems to be the main agenda.

Text is no longer acceptable on the BBC News website when another of their countless "stars" demands to talk to the camera while completely blocking the view of the *REAL* news going on behind them.

As producers, directors, makeup, transport, sound, cameramen, helicopter pilots, drone pilots, security and meals on wheels all stand by to keep the milling crowds at bay. Never let a pleb talk to the camera unless their script has been rehearsed and they have passed all the security checks as safely dull. Just in case they "outshine" the wildly and often obscenely gesticulating, BBC news, film star.

American TV News appears to have much the same problem. Far too much money. Far too little talent and far too much competition to be the next News "oscar" winner.
