You're missing the point. Look closely and you will see a troll standing under the light.

It was just the Mod having a little fun with a ZOT!

yeah you can see the bright spot in the center of the photo and the meteor path goes off at about 45 degrees toward the top left of the photo.

[eyespysomething]

Thanks, that made it easy for me to find!

#12..now I see the trail..

[gitmo]

Is that the explosion?

[KoneZone]

That arnt no Space Rock them thar's eider Nussiance or Sasquatch Doo Doo!

[cripplecreek]

Took me awhile but I see it now. I was looking at the sunlight in the clouds thinking that it looked like sunlight in the clouds but I finally saw what i was looking for.

[kakkatekoi]

No, this is the impact explosion. LOL.

[FlJoePa]

I see it now. Is it red and shaped like ana arrow? ;)

[So Cal Rocket]

Here, I magnified it.. now you can see it clearly:

[PoorMuttly]

Well...O.K.

...but honor compels me to point out the "possibility" that it was simply a piece of the Official Muttly Very Important Astrophysics Experiment (conducted the other day by unknown persons/canines, of course), when a sudden gust of wind rocked the Official Muttly Dirigible, causing him, or perhaps someone like him, to spill his Bombay martini on the launch controls, leading to a mistimed release of the Experimental SpongeBob Pinata, which then missed the mouth of the target Volcano.

[kakkatekoi]

Better one.

Here it is with a little creative Photoshop work. It goes from upper left down in a straight line toward the reflection of the sun.

Is this a Mae West joke?

[Hot Tabasco]

I see it now. Is it red and shaped like ana arrow? ;)

Yep, thats it alright! I see it too. Kinda cool isn't it?

I've seen them plenty at night but not with the red arrow. Guess that means they burnt up in the stratosphere or sumthin........

Let me try that again.

[fish hawk]

I see it now (standing on my head looking at the screen)LOL

[Rev DMV]

Interesting, I would like to see more investigation into the actual image of course.

I remember thinking awhile back while looking at the full moon if there was any recorded mention in history of someone witnessing a meteorite stike on the moon

Nope, still can't see it. There's supposed to be a meteor hitting the Earth in the photo.

[stacytec]

LOL, a rock that size would give the solar system a nice new astroid belt to replace planet #3.
