I am glad my wife and I are not the only ones...where are yall from...just a general location. I am trying to find a report on astronamy site but cant find any information.
We're in Kennesaw, Cobb near Cherokee County. I chose my screen name just because I liked it, and usually I'm the one who's looking up at the sky and the man in the moon. My husband thinks it might have been space junk, but whatever it was, it was the brightest biggest thing - besides the space shuttle which I was fortunate enough to see fly overhead one night in Miami. I googled "meteor over Georgia", and this was the only site I found that mentioned this event.
And a few of us do it for a living. :-)
There will be a solar eclipse in a few days.
Ummm.... In a single word - no.
yes, there will be a partial solar eclipse visible in asia and parts of Alaska on 19 March 2007. :)

I pictured you as more a listener than a watcher. (grin) Once upon a time I visited Greenbank. That was a fascinating learning experience.
Also, there is the conclusion of a total lunar eclipse coming up on Saturday evening, March 3, for those living in the eastern U.S. The middle of the eclipse occurs at 6:21 p.m.;total eclipse ends at 6:58 p.m.; Moon leaves umbra at 8:12 p.m.; and Moon leaves penumbra at 9:26 p.m. All those times are Eastern Standard Time.
The Saturday evening forecast for my area promises mostly cloudy skies. Sigh.
Welcome to FR!!
a bump.
My son is an artist and wishes he could've seen it. So do i.
No matter how i may try, the brilliance is inescapable in explanation.
I am fully aware that it was only junk burning in the sky-
it was just so beautiful.
since you are close by- thought i would ping ya...
How close is close?
