The meteor..
I was outside night before last at 3:45 a.m. I had gone to check on my Dad who was trying to get out of bed, and I was taking the puppy out to do his thing on the lawn. It was a cloudy night and I could not see any stars, but the moon was high and had a ring around it above me. Looking to the east above the horizon I saw a very bright, very large (or very close) streak across the sky like a meteor coming in to hit the earth. It may have been even brighter if there had not been clouds blocking the view. It was not your average tiny shooting star. I thought I would hear a crash or explosion. But it's light went out before it reached the ground. It was an exciting experience on a dark and cloudy night with a ring around the moon. JB |
