Hi Jim,
While you watched this fall I am assuming it was still luminous while it

Yes you are right! Ten out of ten times a fire ball looks close when it
is miles away! That is because of the size or the brightness. If it dims it
looks further away. If it brightens it looks

Hi Jim,
Actually most meteors don't continue to burn to the ground but come to

if your within a couple of miles of it will probably become a part of

after.
Hello AL, Jim and List,
Here are some of the somethings you should have heard:

Hello Jim, Al, Bernd and List,
