Last night the sky suddenly lit up brighter than bright and it was all flickery, discovered today that a meteor caused it  I was in a dark room and the whole place just lit up. Just wish I'd been outside to see it. |

I saw it on the news this morning, there was a ball of light, it looked great, but probably a bit scary if you were just driving along as some of the films shown were from inside cars!

I saw the pictures on the news tonight. It certainly looked spectacular. I've seen the odd shooting star now and then during one of the annual meteor showers, but nothing like that.

Did you hightail it to the drop zone to look for any debris, or did it all burn up before landing?

I think the drop zone was a long way from here dianthus, I'm sure it'll be found though. there was a fab picture of it over Loch Ness too  |
