Meteor Sighting
by John Weckerle
Just a few minutes ago, I observed a spectacular meteor moving in a southwest to northeast direction – more or less – and we’re wondering whether anyone else has observed it and has any information. Based on the angle and the apparent velocity, it would appear that the meteor made it relatively deeply into the atmosphere – and it faded out while still in the western portion of the sky. We have not yet found any references to the event online, but would welcome any information from our readers; it was – again – a spectacular sight, and I hope that others in our area enjoyed the show as much as I did.
