Who saw the bright light in the sky?

**thebassman** · 03-30-2009 11:08 AM

Last night I was out skating. When I looked up in the sky me and my friends saw a huge,bright light rocketing towards the earth. It was moving extremely fast, as it took about 10 seconds to hit the ground from when I first saw it appear. It was brighter than the moon, was moving about 20 times as fast as a plane does, and I have no idea what it was. Upon looking it up, I found this object was visible to residents as far south as North Carolina, and as far North as Baltimore. Residents in Virgina reported hearing a loud, thunder-like boom. Scientists are looking in to what it could of been.

So my question is, how many of you saw it?

I saw that sh1t. A bunch of my friends did too. Probably just some radioactive chemical bomb thrown into our water supply. A lady in Virginia beach said she saw it crash in the water while she was jogging,

Some say that Hannah Montana lost her virginity and her alien overlords came down and blew up the lucky bastard that deflowered her.

"People said they saw a streak in the sky and heard an explosion."

Sounds to me like nothing more than cloud to cloud lightning...

**duckhunt** · 03-30-2009 04:49 PM

A space shuttle? Why would no police/weather forces know about it

I was totally kidding and I don't think she's hot enough to even try and find out if she is. :P

There's so much stuff going on with space shuttle or related vehicles nowadays that bigger companies don't necessarily need to tell the cops everything they do.

Are you sure you didn't just hear about this on Mercury Theatre on the Air?

I track the space station and shuttle very often, and they are both bright stars.. that travel quickly

Last night the station would have been visible at 8:22pm at 16 degrees off the horizon, for 3 minutes. The shuttle was right behingd it and 3 degrees lower.. That is the sighting for Va. Beach

Over 1 sextillion stars in our physical universe. That's 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars..........

But this could just be space junk falling from orbit. Do you have any idea how much trash of ours is floating up there? Not knowing the speed of descent it is hard to say, but aliens haven't crashed for many decades.....
