| Remarks | the wind was blowing warm, and a dog was barking down the street and I could tell the density of the air around me was becomming less, it had been a brisk day and sounds were compressed in the tight air through the day as I whistled walking to work, and later in the day in this open warm air blowing around I could hear the delayed reverberations of a dog barking off of the homes and garages in a consistent manner of air decompressing in thermal temperature increases of 20-30 degrees warmer than what I had heard earlier in the day when I whistled down the same street, and this meteor made a \\\\ |

| Remarks | This sounds completely wierd, in fact insane, but I was looking at Orion and felt like he was pointing at a bright star and telling me to look there as I was walking home from the yogurt bar on nassau street to my house on jefferson, not like the constellation was talking, but exactly where Orion's left shoulder and if he had an arm would point, so I looked and I don't know what star it was, but it was bright and in line with where Orion was pointing, then as I was looking this citrine-orange streak shot right from the tragectory of Orion's arm too this star, i will find out what it was, but from my orientation it was like watching Orion Shoot something, so amazing, I filled out this report and am buying a telescope with a 24 hour camera and movement sensors to put on my roof and broadcast on my website www.unamed.us |
