It's been a little while since I've truly posted any news of days. Although, I do have a long list of drafted items I still need to publish. This will come during the week. For now, I've got something interesting to share with my readers.
I could not believe my eyes this morning, on the way to have brunch at Trudy's Northstar Location. I was traveling North on Mopac passing Camp Mabry ( on the left ), listening to the radio ( Jammin' 105.9- Tootsie Roll ), and driving the speed limit of 65mph.
Right up above our car to the right, about 75yards up towards the NE, I saw an object (unrecognizable) being incinerated as it got closer to the ground. It had a fireball attached to it. The idea here is something entered our atmosphere, and traveled long enough to be completely non-existent, only an image planted in my mind.
The image is kind of like trying to throw a marshmallow fireball more than 100yards away. The flame will go out. The marshmallow might make it to the other side, still intact and not too crispy.
The first thought that came to my mind was that it could have been a meteor, (about soft ball size), but burnt to a nothing, and not even making landfall.
My initial reaction was, " HOLY MACROW!!" then I turned off the radio, so I could explain myself to poor sleeping Paul, who I woke up from a sound nap.
We DVR'd Desperate Houswives, and were in the middle of watching the show at 11pm. The commercials included a News Preview of " reports of fireball..find out what it was, coming up at 10pm."
Missed the news, but did go to statesman.com and there was the report. Interesting how so many people reported..(I'm reposting this blog at statesman.com)
Funny. I have another story to go with this one. Having to do with a Rainbow Warrior in Hawaii.
