I have a strange question for you...hopefully you can set me straight on this! Last night I and two friends saw a bright light streaking in the sky. It had a tail on it, looking like a meteoroid. The object was falling to the ground, and it faded out rather high in the sky, but less than a second later, and on the course, it appeared again looking like it did before. Did we see a meteorite? I have seen "shooting stars" before, not just one or two. One night at my parents house (they lived in the country) there was a shower that lasted hours. It was beautiful but none of the ones we watched "skipped" like this one did last night. If it was just me, I would have thought it was due to lack of sleep, but since my friends saw it too, I know I didn't imagine it! The question is do meteoroids behave like this? Thanks so much for you help! Ginny
Hi Ginny! Good question. Ill ask my meteorite list and get back to you. Ive never heard of them skipping but then, I recently learned I dont know everything!
