The Fireballs of February
The Fireballs of February
Feb. 22, 2012: In the middle of the night on February 13th, something disturbed the animal population of rural Portal, Georgia. Cows started mooing anxiously and local dogs howled at the sky. The cause of the commotion was a rock from space.
"At 1:43 AM Eastern, I witnessed an amazing fireball," reports Portal resident Henry Strickland. "It was very large and lit up half the sky as it fragmented. The event set dogs barking and upset cattle, which began to make excited sounds. I regret I didn't have a camera; it lasted nearly 6 seconds."
Strickland witnessed one of the unusual "Fireballs of February."

Hey PH nice to see you are back.!
The Perseids (August) and the Leonids (November) i've been watching for many years.... awesome show. Just be sure to be many miles from nearest city.
Funny that NASA says theyre much slower when in fact theres other showers theres as 'slow' as them. Then i got nosy found out we have many many meteor showers each year.
Some are lasting for weeks and some cant be seen because they only occur in daytime some are only periodic others regular and some have 'peak' periods and so on. Let me say it like this i'm amazed we are still here with all them 'rocks and metals' flying around out there. But thankss to the cosmos we are still here and scientist still dont know shhhh about nothing its all theory and speculations. Their knowledge is based on people who lived from 1000's of years ago.
PZ and take care PH
