[mckitterick]

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).
:-P

Hahahha! Trust me, the thought of spacecraft-debris did cross my mind.
