damn i missed it. I went out and got my last 6k steps at around 10-12 cst last night too. I occasionally catch a meteorite burning up int he atmosphere (aka shooting star) which is neat. Two nights ago, i saw one that had a blue-green tail which means the meteorite is rich with nickel (burns green) and magnesium (blue)

Which direction in the sky did you see it, and what time? Sucks going to bed at 10pm because there's still a dull glow from the sunset.
