I’m easy to amuse. I sometimes enjoy looking out on a clear night just to see satellites passing over. It’s amazing how many there are. The sky is full of them!

It’s not just you, KR. Additionally, there’s a lot of cloud cover where we live that obscures heavenly events here. Love the greenery but keep missing these things.

“I dont think I want to see fireballs or the likes in the daytime sky.” Vigorous concurral.

During the summer of 1981 I was living in Yosemite. My friend and I went into the field next to the Awanhee Hotel to watch the shooting stars. It was a magnificent show that I will never forget.
I will also never forget that that was the first and only time that a deer stepped on my head.

About 30 minutes ago I saw a quick red burn low on the horizon. Anyone else happen to see that?

Deer's hooves are sharp. That could have been a nasty cut, and very dangerous.
Sounds like an interesting story, and a long way from first aid.

There was a nice one spotted in the South Plains of Texas; the fireball traveled across this area and into western Oklahoma. There is video of the fireball on this
page (about halfway down the page.)
