Was over ice fishing on Jackson Lake one time and we saw a meteor cruising along the tops of the mountains. In the daytime. I got freaked out when my dad sorta freaked out.

And there was a night some of us saw a green meteor streak across the sky. It was during a meteor shower. Figured that baby was pure copper.

What amazed me was how fast it was moving. I’ve see shooting stars move fast but this was brighter and faster which made me think it was much closer!

I think earth just barely avoided a massive collision but I’m no expert.

My wife and I saw one of those go straight over our house during the Leonid shower some years back. Fantastic sight. That thing was hauling ass, smoking and glowing green. Just beautiful.

I seem to recall a youtube of a meteor over over the Tetons. Old one iirc, and it was moving slow (too slow for a meteor?).
