“Galt’s motor powers the valley's electrical appliances. It also powers a ray screen that shields the valley from view, which is why it remains undiscovered by the outside world.”

The head was bright white, and it had a deep orange tail with what looked like sparks falling behind,

Describes exactly a fireball I saw one night while driving on a remote freeway,

Only detail out is that before the fireball came into view -- two bright green flashes lit up the terrain.

We watched that from Lookout Mountain.

Heh! I was on the roof at Coors taking a break working graveyard.

Do you have the free one or the payware one?

[Conan the Librarian]

Never have I had that pleasure. And now, with my hearing also going, it’s becoming less likely.

I have seen a LOT of things in the sky at night (been an amateur astronomer for about 45 years now), including what I think was a aurora spark on magnetic line during the previous solar maximum, but, I haven’t been able to hear a meteor.

I love Deep Purple’s older stuff. I’ve never seen that Album cover before.

Who in the world thought that was a good idea?
