Hey all.
I went outside last evening and lo and behold! A Super Bright and Very Long
Meteor shot across the sky from about 10 degrees south of Vega all the way to
about 5 degrees south of Arcturus. It was a creamy yellowish white color in the
interior and a bright red all around the edges. The meteor cast shadows of my
pick-up truck on the driveway and my tree in the yard. It broke up into
numerous pieces just before if faded away and left a very clearly seen vapor
trail.
Those of you who were at the All AZ S.P. in 2011 saw a very bright meteor which
lit up the mountains all around us. Well, the meteor last night was just as
bright, but was much longer. What a nice sight for a Sunday Night!
IF only I had my camera out instead of my toothbrush!!
