My friend posted on Facebook about ten minutes later that he "just saw a meteor land in the woods right off stoakley road....that was pretty epic..." then "yeah it was big...it exploded right before it hit the treeline. hopefully some of it survived and has some symbiote in it." this was posted from Prince Frederick, MD. THIS IS TOO COOL! THE UNIVERSE IS AMAZING!!
