Can\'t be sure what I missed at first because my ballcap bill obscured the initial appearance until the sheer brightness
Overhead caught my attention. Fortunately, I looked up in time to see a long blue streak behind that burning rock
Stare me in the face.......the most spectacular sky display ever in my 60 years.
