I saw it too, FWIW. Big object, very high, most DEFINITELY NOT A METEOR. Twin-forked burn.

that's still only one of you, though, isn't it?

"that's still only one of you, though, isn't it?"

LOL. I noticed that too. I've never seen a poster respond to himself before apparently completely unaware that the first post was from him as well. Pschizo maybe?

First of many posts to respond to me responding to myself! When I said "I saw it too, FWIW ..." The FWIW (for what it's worth) was to let you know that it wasn't just my husband who saw it (read the original post). I was in a hurry (hence all the typos), trying to get this into FR while it was still visible, so just clicked on my own posts to add to the thread.

If you want to check my bonafides, review my FR posting history. You'll see I don't have a history of pranks or responding to myself to foment discussion, especially about wacky stuff like this! I really did see this thing coming into the atmosphere, my husband really did see it for quite a lot longer and more than me because I was down here trying to post to FR (had to turn on computer, wait for the cable hookup, virus checks, etc., takes about eight minutes from the minute of turing on my computer to actually being able to post online). By the time I got the first post done, it had been more like 20 minutes (husband says half hour, but I think he's off) since he first spotted it (he was on the phone talking to his daughter and gazing out at the sunset), and by the time I was posting "to myself" to add more info, it was over Sacramento. Going very, very fast, and very, very high.

Glad I'm not the only one who picked up on that. Must have forgotten to switch screen names.

Good catch! I didn't see it too ... and Betaille, its "schizo"
as in "phrenic" unless your beeper is stuned. ;-)
