Puff, puff, pass. Stop bogarting it, man.

 

[Mikeinsmd]

Did anyone else just see the big ass green ball of light in the sky with a long orange fire tail?

 

[Khurley]

I did see it

I think it was a comet - I live in Owings off of Grovers and Rt 4.

If it was a comet we would have heard something about before this morning I would imagine.

Oh crap - they are coming to get me...

Seriously - when and what part of the sky? Sounds like a nice sized comet!

Why in God's name would someone give me anonymous Red Karma for this?

I was asking at work and no one saw anything - I work with a couple of star buffs...

Alirght now you all, I am serious, and apparently it was out there, the person that started this thread saw it too! I dont know where she is located, but I gave my location.

I was talking on my cell, and I told my friend, I think I just saw a falling star!!!!!

No pills, no drinks involved (at least I dont think so).

You guys are just jealous!

I am in located in Waldorf. I have seen shooting stars but nothing like that! I just cant get over it! It seemed VERY close!

Since it landed on Wednesday, I doubt that was it.

I saw it. It actually lit up the sky a bit.

BTW, it was not a comet. It was a meteor.

Alrighty, Jody.

Well it came out of the sky landed just a little south of Moline
Jody fell out of his tractor couldn't b'lieve what he seen
Laid on the ground and shakin' fearin' for his life
Then he ran all the way to town screamin' "It came out of the sky!"

Well a crowd gathered round and a scientist said it was Martians
Spiro came to make a speech about raisin' the Mars tax
The Vatican said it was the Lord to come
Hollywood rushed out an epic film
And Ronnie the Prophet he said it was a communist plot

Well the newspapers came and made Jody a national hero
Walter and Eric said they'd put him on in their TV show
The White House said put the thing in the blue room
The Vatican said no it belongs in Rome
But Jody said it's mine and you can have it for seventeen million

Well it came out of the sky landed just a little south of Moline
Jody fell out of his tractor couldn't b'lieve what he seen
Laid on the ground and shakin' fearin' for his life
Then he ran all the way to town screamin' "It came out of the sky!"

Sounds good to me!!...Now does that mean that is a comet did hit the atmosphere it would then be considered a meteor?
