| Remarks | This was an amazing experience! I was alone and astounded. To hear NPR mentioned the event this morning felt validating and exciting. The magic is not lost with an invent like this when you apply scientific theory, it holds! Astronomy, science, potentials and mysteries... This fire ball fit right in with my very magical month of May. Thanks for gathering more information! I look forward to reading more :-) I love the sky! I feel so lucky to have seen this. Have a great day! |
