Default Did you see the Meteor Wed night?

I just wanted to take a little informal poll of how wide spread of an area that could see this meteor. It happened about 12:05 AM Mtn. It was simply the biggest one I have ever seen in my life! It lit up the whole sky like lightening can. And had a large flaming tail. Here is a vid or several of it from different sources.

Or just see where google.com can take you . . . .


Oh: I saw it in Southern Idaho!

Well, I had to be at school by 3 A.M. for registration that Tuesday when there was supposed to be the meteor shower. I didn't see anything and I was freezing my butt off outside until 6 A.M. when they finally let 119+ people in. I bet it was cool to see though.

Don't feel bad: It was just an accident that I was out there to see it. Sure was cool though. I have never seen anything like it!

Wow, Indianapolis? Really? I had no idea it was seen that far East!! This thing was huge then!!
