Yes, folks, you heard it first here. Moderate sized meteor passes over Western New York State this early July morning.

It wasn't as large, long, or colorful as the one in the late eighties, but it was a good little show, appearing as the pictures of a comet appear, but very bright, with a white color, and decent tail.

It was visible to me as it crossed the sky traveling eastward for an eighth to a quarter of the visible sky arc. It may have been visible longer before it caught my attention.

I didn't realize western NY was a day ahead of the rest of NY state! hehehe

 

or 2 years behind....hehe.

Dave I assume that you meant it to say 1:38 a.m.July 6, 2008 correct ???????

 

Hahaha I missed the 2006. There goes that half azzed attention span again!

 

No wonder I missed it, I don't remember where I was in 06.

 

...or too dumb at 2:30 am to remember to flip-flop the European date style of this stupid watch, i.e. today appears as 06/07/08 and it is eleventeen different steps to change the date on the danged watch.

OK, so beat me up for a little chronological dyslexia...I liked '06 better anyway!

At any rate...EARLY today was when it was.

 

Dave, I figured that it was this morning and considering when you were posting at 2:40 a.m. when most people are sleeping and I am sure that you were half asleep those are just typos in my book.

your right I did like '06 better too and just like GLR ... I do not remmeber where I was either

 

Shoot! I know where I was...... I was sittin at the gas pumps joyfully pumping gas at a $1.95 a gal. Ahh the good old days. hahaha
