| Remarks | Driving to work this morning, directly in front of my car leaving Cherry lane at 24, looked like a roman candle heading right to left at an angle toward New Haven from my view in SW Fort Wayne. The leading edge disappeared below the tree line. This literally was as large as a July fireworks. I\'ve seen many shooting stars inthe dark sky, but nothing remotely this large or close. It had to hit the earth. |
