| looking through an open drivers-side window to the west while about to pull into my driveway, thought what i was to see was a very bright meteor to my left. that "meteor" jetted to the southeast in my theater of westside viewing, not to the southeast part of the sky, just the bottom right of my center of viewing to the west. it did this at the same speed it was making left to right on a clear night. heard word from "the center" there was a fireball sighting about 30 minutes prior to my encounter with this UNIDENTIFIABLE OBJECT. after my call to the center and countless times telling myself, "i've never seen that before", i got some fresh air and peered off to the west again, only to see a shooting star crossing top right to bottom left in the same westward viewing theater. you couldn't draw it up any better. i've seen strage things before in the sky, but, would never have bothered to call, let alone tell my story here. i had tears in my eyes all night from a combination of satisfaction of seeing this with both eyes open and yet, frustration that i can't tell anyone except my kids who have an "open-mind" we wish all had. |
