LOL, actually I'm on my old clunker computer, 13 year old Gateway Pentium II 400Mhz running XP Pro and used 13 year old Adode PhotoDeluxe vs. 1 which is hardly compatible with XP.
Expecting a museum to call any day for the whole mess.

Thems the ones you worry about, no longitude or latitude movement, but they keep getting bigger and bigger.
Probably one of those situations where you would be correct in bending down, putting your head between your legs and kissing your a** goodbye :^)

Thanks The Cajun. The only one I've ever seen in daylight (summer 2002 I think, if not it was 2003), and really the only one I've ever seen worth mentioning, looked a lot like what you describe, including the seeming proximity, but like you, I heard nothing. A search turned up no news about any impact. The apparent size was such that its irregular shape could be made out as it tumbled in.

The green burn is reportedly from a copper meteor.

The green burn is reportedly from a copper meteor. Yup and the orange sure reminded me of some form of sodium in a Bunsen burner flame from a few chemistry classes way back when.

Yeah, I'm going to check the papers and listen to the news tonight to see if I was the only yo-yo that saw it.
Think it burnt up before it hit the ground, but couldn't see because of the stupid tree.
It was getting very bright when I lost sight of it.

Wow, mean man! That was really cool, and so is your picture of what you saw.
Like just about everybody, I've seen a lot of meteors, but none that were that spectacular. It's neat that you got to see that.

Yup, took 65 years to see a good’un, all I have to do now is run up north where I can see the aurora borealis and I'll be content on my seeings :^)
