My kids were telling me that Uranus and Neptune were falling out of the sky. I humored them, went outside, and saw a HUGE flaming red thing crashing straight down. It burnt up in about 8 mins. I have NEVER seen anything like that. Was there supposed to be anything crashing west of here tonight??? IT WAS SO COOL!!!! --------------------------- Boudoir Candy Photography * Belle's Photography * Belle's Blog* Facebook HotHolly's Book! |

I didnt have that kind of lens on my camera...and I grabbed a crappy telescope 1st. It was big - I thought it would be better. :o( Im still wondering what it was...at the risk of sounding like a crazy nut saying they saw things falling from the sky... I SAW A BIG BALL OF FLAME FALLING FROM THE SKY! IT WAS SO COOL! --------------------------- Boudoir Candy Photography * Belle's Photography * Belle's Blog* Facebook HotHolly's Book! |

It was probably space junk re-entering the atmosphere.. happens now and again. Watch the news tonight or call the fire department... they'll probably know. |

Well, if it was flaming, it was probably a worthless topic from one of those other inferior high-flying photo forums.... ;) --------------------------- Bryce Carleton Photographic Brazoria County Photographic Arts Club EOS 7D, 10s, A2, 20D Texas Photo Forum: The last place you'll ever need to post a photo again. |

could be either space junk or a meteor. the last big flaming fire ball that was seen a few weeks ago was parts from a Russian space craft do you remember the direction it was coming from and going to? and what part of the sky was it in (north south east or west) James |

All I could find is a preliminary rush transcript of CNN's American Morning with a few cryptic headlines about a mysterious fireball over West Texas, but nothing about what it was... gonna set DVR. --------------------------- Go not where the path may lead; go instead were there is no path, and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Until you can be happy being alone,happiness by any other means is but a fleeting illusion. - Myself "The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." - Albert Einstein Moody Canon 10D (UN-pawned:banana:), broke Canon 50mm 1.8, Sigma 28-80mm 3.5-5.6(also UN-pawned) |
