Did anyone else just see the big ass green ball of light in the sky with a long orange fire tail?
I think it was a comet - I live in Owings off of Grovers and Rt 4.

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!

Alrighty, Jody.I saw it. It actually lit up the sky a bit.
BTW, it was not a comet. It was a meteor.
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

meteor=already entering our planet
guess you still can't be for sure unless you saw it :shrug: but they look different lol
