how rare is the sighting of a fireball the size of a car close enough to see tumbling rock wraped in flames.?
friday night at midnight I saw an incrediable sight. A fireballl in the sky it looked like hollywood special effects. I could see the rock form rolling as it fell with fire around it, not a flash but the actual red yellow blue flames it appeared to be the size of a small car and about as high up as you would see a hellocopter following a police pursuit. It was about a quarter to a half a mile away and it impacted behind a small hillside and allthough I stopped car I did not hear an impact nor see a fire but not much to burn as it is desert. This was the most incredile thing I have ever seen no natural wonder could come closeI to the feeling the amazement the awe of what I saw. I live in the desert and see many "shooting stars" they do not come close to this. What I would like to know is how rare is this, I want more is this as I think it is equivilent to winning the lottery or just a matter of watching a few nights during the current meteor shower.
You have seen a metal meteorite big enough to reach the ground which is quite rare indeed! Many collect those meteorite and could fetch a very good price for those! If you go back there and find the metal meteorite, you could sell it by the kg at very good price, depending on the type you recover! I know a guy that collect those from around the world, and I am sure he would like this one!!
