2 weeks ago or so I was up earlier than usual, fresh air on my deck with coffee
looked to the east and a bright star that did not seem to belong
then it started to fall and went poof then another in the same spot....what?
this went on 7 times or so
Co-pilot..... was that starlink dropping some odd sats?
nope that was a big meteor from the lyrids that broke up and those were the chunks, a train
during this just to the west a huge flash like and atomic bomb, it was a bolide airburst
that was a big one that got so hot it exploded and it was really bright......wow two events in a matter of 5 minutes
doubt I will ever get the chance to see that one again, small window, right timing
