Last night while driving to Chicago, from Columbus, Ohio I saw a small shooting star. That got me wondering, while out here for just a couple years I have seen some good size shooting stars (meteor shower's).

The best thing in the sky I have probably seen was when coming across I70 west of St. Louis and saw a huge meteor. It lasted for about 3-4 seconds and lit up the entire ski (was bright as a bolt of lightning lasting 3-4 seconds). I have seen 2 other good size ones but not nearly the same size.

You guys ever see things like that or maybe even stranger things you can't explain?

 

I see shooting stars quite a bit. I keep wishing that one of these days, I would get rich. I guess, I gotta keep waiting on the right star. :P

 

The northern lights in the U.P. of Michigan are always cool.

 

I remember seeing those when I used to run up in the Dakotas. They are cool.

 

I still haven't seen the Northern Lights.

 

You ought to check with Yoopr on that. He's so far north, they are the SOUTHERN lights for him.

:P

 

We get beautiful Northern Lights where I live too. Sometimes they are in different colors, and streak accross the whole sky. You'd think you were on LSD or something...as it makes such a surreal display.

This is one of my favorite photos of the Lights with a Thunder storm.

 

N lights are pretty neat- can get incredibly colorful sometimes.

Cool pic RH.

 

here's some pretty nice photos

Those were nice. I've never seen the different colored lights. Just the white that come up, that glitter, or have a fade affect.
