Meteor?
[–]twist3d7 58 points59 points60 points 21 days ago
Meteorites are worth a lot of money. Go fetch it and I'll split the money with you 50/50.
[–]kristmitch 50 points51 points52 points 21 days ago
A meteorite landing on your property is like god personally saying, "Here, I am personally choosing you to be a millionaire. There ya go lil buddy."

Well it ain't a meteor. It's a big ol chunk of frozen poopy.
[–]PumaRage[S] 83 points84 points85 points 21 days ago*
Yep! Appeared over the Wisconsin area.
Edit: Sources are in, this gif was actually taken in Canada. My mistake.

[–]AlienIntelligence 50 points51 points52 points 21 days ago
I've seen several, including a daylight one. Last one I saw (at night) was during the Draconids this year. Although it didn't appear to be from that radiant. I used to be really big into astronomy, so I look up more than most people.
Your mind races thru a few scenarios at first. I was born into the cold war, so missile, aliens, meteor in that order is what races thru my head.

[–]winkinator 12 points13 points14 points 21 days ago
I saw one driving by an air force base one night several years ago and my first thought was missile, scared the crap out of me for a second.
[–]CmdrTroll 15 points16 points17 points 21 days ago
Head for it, not away. Both meteorites and nuclear warheads are worth good money

[–]foodandart 14 points15 points16 points 21 days ago
Oh that's cool. Wait until you are below one that hisses and makes noise. Winter in 1980, a small copper meteorite whizzed overhead and my younger sis and brother and I were coming back after dark from sledding. Damn thing whipped overhead and scared the shit out of us - worst thing was, we lived in a fairly wooded area - scary enough at dusk - but to have shooting comets overhead? I think we set a land-speed record for running home.
[–]whatisthishere 39 points40 points41 points 21 days ago
Omfg, I came here to say I saw something similar, but maybe it was the same one. The real point is that I was sitting shotgun in my friends car at night and we were baked as fuck. I saw this shit, sat there in disbelief for like two seconds then said, did you see that? He looked at me with the most open eyes I've ever seen and said, holy shit, thank fucking god, I thought I imagined that.

[–]Scrumpilump2000 454 points455 points456 points 21 days ago
I'd feel privileged. It's a beauty, and I think it's far too small to be a danger (unless it fell directly on you).
[–]Onion_Truck 212 points213 points214 points 21 days ago
I was driving on the highway outside of Edmonton when that thing came down behind me. Didn't see the fireball itself, but it turned night into day for a second. It was pretty weird.
[–]NurseTammi 59 points60 points61 points 21 days ago
I was driving home from school when that fell. Incredibly awesome although I was thoroughly confused when I first saw it.
[–]-DoubleNegative- 45 points46 points47 points 21 days ago
I saw this also. About 8 years ago, i was just outside of Saskatoon with my girlfriend eating a Dairy Queen blizzard. It was dark outside and as i was looking down to scoop my next bite, the whole cab of my truck lit up as bright as day. I looked up to see this thing shooting over the city. One of the coolest things I've experienced to date.
[–]Joke_Getter 40 points41 points42 points 21 days ago

[–]kristmitch 36 points37 points38 points 21 days ago
dude... a meteorite. An asteroid that makes it all the way through our atmosphere and hits earth.
[–]quidam12 53 points54 points55 points 21 days ago
Actually it's called a meteor. A meteor (falling star) is a meteoroid (sand- to boulder-sized particle of debris) entering earth's atmosphere. If a meteoroid reaches the ground and survives impact, then it is called a meteorite. An asteroid is way bigger and nobody wants that in earth's atmosphere.
[–]kristmitch 21 points22 points23 points 21 days ago
CLOSE ENOUGH naw man just kidding thanks for helping me out! I did not know that asteroids were different from meteors and now I do!
[–]neetshee 11 points12 points13 points 20 days ago*
Thanks to Joanna Newsom, I always remember:
That the meteorite is a source of the light And the meteor's just what we see And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee And the meteorite's just what causes the light And the meteor's how it's perceived And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void that lies quiet in offering to thee
That the meteorite is a source of the light
And the meteor's just what we see
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee
And the meteorite's just what causes the light
And the meteor's how it's perceived
And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void that lies quiet in offering to thee

[–]DCraik 10 points11 points12 points 21 days ago
I often wonder how we would fare, if we actually encountered something like the covenenant. It is difficult to think of how large the unieverse actually IS, and how it's almost certain that, given the absolute fucking uncomprehendable enormousness of SPACE (ace ace ace), we are almost certainly not the only intelligent beings that have evolved. Sometimes i look at the sun, and think of how many times larger than the planet i'm standing on it is, and how small it looks to me, and try to get a sense of the SCALE of things. Sometimes i get pretty close and it gives me an enormous sense of vertigo.

He didnt fall from space. He lived at the bottom of the ocean and ate Seabed Nectar, the prime ingredient in Slush-O! I'm not kidding on any of this. It's all part of the viral advertising campaign that failed horribly.
Seabed's Nectar (Kaitei no mitsu) is the secret ingredient for Slusho! It is highly addictive and seems to affect the human mind if eaten in its raw form. "Discovered on the deep ocean floor, under amazing pressure and extreme cold." The Parasites found on Clover's body have extremely high levels of Seabed's Nectar in their blood, and have been photographed digging into the ocean floor near the site of Chuai Station.
This abomination of a site was also part of that ad campaign.

I was outside working on the flightline at night in Mountain Home, Idaho, doing my thing, when suddenly EVERYTHING lit up like it was fucking day. For a solid second and a half, it was just bright as can be, and like that, it was gone.
There were very few people out there, and what few people there were... didn't seem to be having any reaction. I actually thought I had just flipped it and had a stroke or something. So like a responsible person, I didn't say anything.
A day later, this was in the news. I felt vindicated that I was not, in fact, crazy.

I then went to the news and they didn't say anything. It was awesome, lit up the entire sky and then just vanished.
Edit: I lived about 30 miles north of Milwaukee and saw it from the west

about 3 years ago i was walking home around 9 pm so it was dark... all of the sudden I see a green light then it lights up the whole valley I was in total awe until I walked home and to this day I have no clue what it was
[–]damieneimad 5 points6 points7 points 21 days ago
I saw something similar a few years back. It was during the day so not quite as bright, and slightly slower. My friend and I were standing outside and out of nowhere saw a huge ball of green light explode in the air and slowly fall. We thought it was a plane or something.
[–]thanksforthefish0o 4 points5 points6 points 21 days ago
I was driving home from work one night and saw pretty much the exact same thing, a meter lighting up the sky brighter than the moon. I habitually watch disaster scenario shows and knew what would be coming. All i could think was why didn't I leave a few minutes earlier so I could be with my son. A second then a minute and no apolacypse then I got home and gave my boy the biggest hug he will ever get in his life.

i saw something very like this in San Francisco a couple years before the Berlin Wall came down and thought it was incoming warheads (grew up during Cold War; Bay Area was first strike fodder).
You simply cannot imagine the relief I and others of my generation felt when the Cold War ended not long after. It was the most wonderful happy heartfelt feeling of joy and hope conceivable.
For a few years, at least :/
N. B. what I saw then turned out to be space junk burning on entry to the atmosphere.

Im lucky enough to have seen one near the South Austin area this year, amazing sight, though it wasnt as big as that one.
[–]lach88 4 points5 points6 points 21 days ago
I've seen something like this down in Australia a few years ago.
It was pitch black night, then all of a sudden the whole sky light up light daylight for a second or so but not all at once, it was like the whole sky was 'loading', was awesome.
[–]KWBC24 7 points8 points9 points 21 days ago

I'd be happy as fuck.
[–]Gogo_McSprinkles 4 points5 points6 points 21 days ago
I saw this exact thing occur once on my way home from work at 2am. I thought I was hallucinating because I was so tired. No one ever believed me that I saw anything. But this is EXACTLY what I witnessed. Thank you, reddit, for validating my sanity.
[–]DeanKong 4 points5 points6 points 21 days ago
I've seen pretty much this one night driving home from a friends place in Australia. I was pretty much just waiting to feel the ground shake. It was probably the most amazing thing I've seen in my life.
[–]Igotshameonme 3 points4 points5 points 21 days ago
See one a couple years ago....it's amazing
[–]flantaclause 7 points8 points9 points 21 days ago
I remember seeing that. that was winter 2009/10 in the midwest right? I saw it driving through wisconsin about 50 miles south of where my mother saw it.
[–]theloudestshoutout 5 points6 points7 points 21 days ago
Saw one of those in 2010 while driving with a friend in LA. We were singing along to "Firework" by Katy Perry, and right at the chorus, one of these explodes directly over the car. I've never repeated this story to anyone because of how ridiculous it sounds.
[–]film_aficianado 5 points6 points7 points 21 days ago
I saw something like this several weeks ago over the bay area. I was in the facebook headquarters parking lot in Palo Alto and my girlfriend was peeing when she said this helicopter was spotlighting us overhead, I looked out and we felt the boom as the meteor streaked across the sky. It was amazing.

[–]rackgen 3 points4 points5 points 21 days ago
You should be afraid.
See, they are looking for Arquillian galaxy so that earth can be destroyed. Your best best is to find a man called Edgar - he looks like this - and destroy him before the galaxy can be grabbed by him.
You should also take help from these men.
Pity... you won't remember anything after saving the earth! I still upvote you.

If it happened on 21 of Dec I'd be pretty sad. then laugh my ass off a minute later when nothing happened.
[–]DustyChud 4 points5 points6 points 21 days ago
I was on a camping trip this summer and saw the same thing. It painted everything a cold blue for a brief second in the dead of night. I was euphoric for a solid two days.
[–]s0ver3ign 5 points6 points7 points 21 days ago
I would drive right to Tristram Cathedral and investigate.
[–]spatchbo 4 points5 points6 points 21 days ago
Sooooo, I live right next to the pacific in the middle of a national monument. Kinda sweet actually. We get awesome meteor showers very often out here. So the one night I come outside and I'm lighting my cigarette. As I look out over the horizon of eternity. A giant fire ball in the sky is curve balling its way into the coast. I figuratively ran for cover, it felt like the scariest moment of my life. Then it tapered out over the ocean and I felt like a giant idiot all alone. To be honest, that was the most frightening moment of my life. It was curving to the point that it looked like it was coming right for me. Trust me, this shit is frightening.

this GIF is from my hometown just outside of Edmonton AB Canada it was a local RCMP officer's dashcam
[–]oakleyshades69 5 points6 points7 points 21 days ago
I'm from Edmonton and I was driving down 111 ST stopped near 51 Ave when I saw that live. I remember tweeting "DID ANYBODY JUST SEE THAT?!??" Only 1 other person did.
It was found in a farmers field outside of Lloydminster, Alberta.
What I took from that whole thing was a scientist commenting on just how big the sky is. When you look at the sky you're looking thousands of Km's away. I always knew that the sky was big, but that scientist, and that the meteor was found 350 Km away, really cemented it for me.

[–]ChippyTAG 4 points5 points6 points 21 days ago
This is what happens when a larger sized meteor's nucleus ruptures during it's fall. There is a massive release of energy as the surface area of exposed rock increases. It's like opening a parachute... except you're going 14 km/s and not 9.81 m/s.
