On September 14th 2014, a massive fireball streaked across the skies over the northeastern USA. Reports said that for a brief moment it was brighter than the full moon, bright enough to cast shadows on the ground, and visibly broke up. Hundreds of reports show this meteor traveling across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York; with it being visible as far away as North Carolina, Illinois, and New Hampshire.

Are there any Soylents here who saw it? Have you ever seen a fireball? How about a meteor shower or even a meteor storm? Maybe the Aurora Borealis? What is your most memorable astronomical observation?

    In my mind I am imagining you going on a romantic getaway with your chainsaw. The stars above, and the fire providing warmth.
