If I were looking up into the blue sky on a beautiful day and saw something like that, I’d promptly need a change of clothes. We owe a big thanks to those that had the very cool opportunity/presence of mind to grab pics of this event.
Just imagine how impressively bright that thing had to be to break through the daytime sky with light like that. I could only imagine what it would have looked like at night. Probably would have lit up the skies bright enough to easily read by!
Amazing!
That would tend to result in lost continence, as opposed to lost continents.
