Fireball
WOW!
Talk about lucky to be in the right spot at the right time.
12:55 am Sunday night (Monday morning)
Just popped outside to have a look at the sky before heading to bed.
Was lucky enough to witness a bright Fireball.
Brighter than the planet Venus.
Tear across the sky, directly overhead, heading NorthWest to SouthEast.
Bright Orange/red glow, with a long smoke trail.
Heading from Canis Major toward Crux.
It seemed very low in the sky, I expected to hear a crackle, but did not.
And just as it passed overhead, it broke into two.
A smaller piece apparently falling off towards the North East.
Almost as bright with its own fiery tail.
Stood in amazement for a while. Wishing for someone to share to moment with. So that is why I am sharing it with you.
Boy, talk about being lucky to be here!
(in every sense of the words).
Clear skies!
