Default Metor

Last night while up at the corner ( very dead night too ) I had just trained my
scope on mars, looked up from the EP and from right under Mars a very bright
metor flashed downward,

Time: 6:45pm PDT
Color: Bright Green

Only lasted a 1/2 sec but was awsome and one of the brighest I've seen. Had to
be as I'm under mega street lights and this one was as bright as Mars.

But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning
lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go
again."

Little things like that have a tendency to bail out an otherwise
forgettable night, don't they?
