Last night while I was driving home from grabbing a chai(I hate coffee), I was stopped at a red light. I looked up and saw a flaming fireball coming down at a 45 degree angle. I thought it hit the ground somewhere, a mile ahead of me. It was HUGE. The guy who stopped next to me at the stoplight was just staring in disbelieve, and then I drove off toward the subject. When I arrived home I saw another, but this time it was much further in the sky. I found out this morning after a little research thats theres a very big meteor shower going on tonight, with as many as 140 (Yes I said that) Meteors per hour!!! Check it out! http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/08dec_geminids.htm?list1341662 I think I might actually stay up late tonight....
Meteor showers are a liberal conspiracy to keep people up late so that they are tired the next morning and when they go to work productivity is greatly reduced. Or something to that effect, I read that somewhere.
