Way cool Colorado Stuff!

[shutthef_up]

You may have seen this on CNN or whatever, but early this morning there was a pretty cool meteor-thing in the western sky.

Space junk burning up over ColoradoNow, I didn't actually see it. I was a few minutes late to the Park n Ride and then had to navigate that total nightmare, but I heard about it on the radio. Pretty cool shit

Spent Russian rocket. Uh-huh.

Suuuuuuure it was. Of course that's what it was.

*thumbs side of nose and winks discreetly*

If anyone looking remotely like Dr. Jackson, Cam Mitchell, Jack O'Neill or hell, even Teal'c shows up, you'll be the first to know ;)

Well... as soon as I, er, have a moment. I may be occupied for a while.

I saw a fireball last month. It was awesome!

[shutthef_up]

Oh, cool! Did something blow up or was it something in the sky?

I sawa one of those once and thought a plane had crashed, but it was a gas line that had blown up. It was in the middle of nowhere and no one was hurt, thankfully.

[live_momma]

AFAIK, it was just a meteor. I couldn't find anything about it online, but the fireball that was seen over CO that morning was covered by a couple of news outlets. We were in the city, and there were other people driving down the same street, so I can't imagine we were the only people to see it. Then again, I didn't report it to anyone, so maybe no one else did, either.

Ha! That story reminds me of the episode of The West Wing where Donna gets all in a tizzy about a press release talking about a satellite hitting the earth.

And dude, if Jack O'Neill comes by? I'd so better get an invite. 'cause seriously, I'd hop the first flight.

(No, really. I'm grounded in reality...)

You know, living here, there are a few moments here and there in the show where reality and fantasy get very, very close.

There was an episode in Season 8, I think, where Jack says something like, "Evacuate everyone within a 200 mile radius of the base". Dude, I actually freaking *stood up* and started looking around for things to take with me. I mean, it only lasted about 5 seconds or so before I sat down again and realized I was an idiot. But for that 5 seconds I was all "WTF?? Shit!"

I also realized that there's really no place to relocate *to* within 200 miles of Cheyenne Mountain. Just a lot of really big empty. So yeah, if the Stargate ever blows up, I'm toast ;)

No, I'm not really that paranoid or delusional, but it does speak to why I find Stargate so compelling.

I'm the same way. I'm not ready to start publishing news letters on the subject, but I would be so totally not surprised to learn the government has a few cover-ups going on. In other outer space news, a small metallic object crashed through a house in Freehold, NJ earlier this week. It was all over the news here, because none of the officials quite knew what it was. My mom and I were discussing the story and she commented that it must have fallen from a plane and I added "Or a spaceship." I just saw on MSN that they determined it was a meteorite. Or was it really...? :)

[shutthef_up]

I *saw* that! I think it happened only a day or two before our own little extraterrestial event.

I took one look at the picture and figured it was a meteorite of some kind. Dunno why, but... I did.

You know what would be hysterical? If it were the equivalent of 'blue ice' that used to drop from commercial aircraft. (which was basically sewage that froze on its way down). Space shit, basically. Hee! Wouldn't that be a scream?

They've been bombarding us with poo, all this time.

Okay, so I have the sense of humor of a 15 year old boy...

[amykay73]

I'm not sure of the exact timeline either, but I knew the two events happened pretty close together.

When I first heard about something crashing from the sky, my first thought was 'airline poop!'. But alien space poop would be so totally awesome.
