WOW! Just an hour or so ago, on my way home after class and picking up the last of the big donation to the Center, I saw a bright fireball transform over a period of a second or two into a streaming green streak across the sky. AMAZING! It went from bright white to vivid green, as if a lurid painter had broken open a lightbulb and painted phosphorescent pigment across the sky, which glowed for a few seconds afterward. It looked sort of like this, only more dramatic:

What a treat after a massively long day!
Somewhere east of Lawrence, Kansas, a pile of space-debris lay smoking in the dry soil.

"Somewhere east of Lawrence, Kansas, a pile of space-debris lay smoking in the dry soil."
Or perhaps there's a pile of wreckage as a farm-couple adopts the small infant that crawls from the strange debris... The sole survivor of a distant planet now destroyed.... Nah, that would be silly (or Smallville).

When I was a child in northern Michigan, I saw the biggest one I ever saw. It turned out to crash in southern Ontario.
When I toured the Kansas Meteorite Museum in Haviland, we were comparing memories and the curator saw the same meteor as a child in the Detroit area.

It's cool just to star gaze and what you can see on any given night. If not too late you can always see satellites and I find if I stare at the sky long enough I always see at least one meteor, even if a faint one.

I know what you mean. When I lived in a dark locale, I used to love to just lie on my back and watch the sky.
