I always watch these flybys - had a vision of it raining little pieces of fire... long, long time ago. Told my kids what I saw. Of course they just think I have an over active imagination. LOL None the less.... I'm still watching. "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." ~ Albert Einstein |

Will we see this again in the next few days ? Quoting: Yes I Did !!!! In 1871, fire erupted in Chicago, Wisconsin and northern Michigan at the same time. Some believe a meteorite or comet was to blame. [link to meteorite-identification.com] IT was the cometary tail mixing with our atmosphere. This caused hydrocarbans to form and you see the result. Read Immanual Velokavsky's WORLDS IN COLLISION to get the full scoop on the effects. |
