Well, looks like another one. Maybe just a late Perseid, huh? What's the
use of worrying, since it came down in Australia anyway. So what if a
kangaroo gets it. Better it should fall down there than up here, where we
are. After all, they are all descendants of criminals, and they probably
deserve having a meteor come crashing down on their heads.



Current understanding it was a piece of space junk re-entering.

It' wasn't planet X, and the sky isn't falling, chicken little.





I was only kidding about the Australians. Of course, we do care about
the cute kangaroos, and I hope my comment about them all being
descendants of criminals is understood to be only a joke.
