Strange Night

Recommended Posts

Out late glassing in 24B, I'm usually getting ready for bed at this hour. Leaving my horses pasture the fields lit up a silver blue. A meteor streaked overhead for several seconds then exploded over Phoenix. Always cool seeing these extraterrestrial visitors, I'm still hoping to find one someday.

 

Pulled into the driveway and went inside to eat when shortly the dogs went off. I look out front and my yard is full of wild burros. They're attacking the bales of hay in my truck bed, must have been more than two dozen.

 

Anybody else see the meteor? Folks as far north as Flagstaff called news stations.

Should have shot them. Attacking your hay like that they deserved it. Didn't see the meteor though unfortunately.

I saw one Saturday night while leaving Bass Pro Shop Shops that seemed almost that bright, although of shorter duration. Apparently a large meteor shower for a few days.

Ha this all makes since now. I was up north of Wickenburg around 9pm or so and saw a bright light flash before me. Pretty strange, lead into a long talk with my coworker about aliens. Made for an interesting night!
