Subject: RE: BS: Don't forget to look up
My most memorable meteorite: standing on the roof of a parking garage in DC, 1992. I'd been to the Smithsonian with my 10-year-old twins. MASSIVE silent green streak across the sky, through clouds. We waited a couple minutes to see if Washington was going to be blown up by an ICBM, then climbed into the car when no explosion. It took a day or two for the paper to report that the meteorite took out a Chevy Nova in a Peekskill, NY driveway.
