On monday this last week, Nov. 22, 1992, at about 8:30 central time, I observed a meteorite entering our atmosphere. While that in itself is not that "earth shaking" , I don't believe I have ever seen one that was *SO* spectacular in its entry. It crossed over from west to east and from horizon to horizon. I stood there and watched it for what seemed whole minutes. At first I thought it was just some fireworks being set off because it seemed to split apart into pieces and then the pieces seemed to "catch" fire and continue. Did anyone else see this unusual display? Dave

I think that you were watching a meteor rather than a meteorite, the
former are much more common than the latter.
August is the best month for doing this, as Earth's orbit takes it
through the Perseid shower, and that is the month our Boy Scout Troop
used to go on its annual camping trip. Well away from any city lights
the displays were often spectacular.
