Thought I'd share this....the other night I was out hog hunting, sitting there in my chair in the bushes nice & quiet in the darkness. All of a sudden this falling star, (or space junk whatever it was), fell literally 10 feet in front of me. It must have been disentegrated down to a very small chip by the time it hit the ground because it didn't make any noise at all & there was nothing to find frown I was thinking how cool is this! It would have been even cooler if it would have been a little bigger, (or maybe not lol). I had a game warden's son next to me & when it happened I think we both jumped back in our chairs & then looked at each other like......did that just happen? Pretty cool I think!

Too bad you couldn't find it. Stuff that falls outta the sky like that is worth a huge amount of money.

It was no lighting bug that's for shure. You're right about space rocks & such being worth alot of money, especially the ones that hit people or their property. Heck I wouldn't mind getting hit by one as long as it didn't cripple or kill me lol! I could use the extra money right now anyway to buy more night vision stuff, I've been bruised pretty bad before I healed up just fine lol! Yeh it was pretty cool, something I'll always remember.

Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up just thinking about it, thank you for your service! I just joined the Wounded Warrior Project today, I hope my contributions really help. I was never allowed to serve thanks to a history of back problems, (I tried like hell especially after 9-11), so I try to do my part any way that I can.

Ever see the show "1000 Ways to Die"? They had a segment where a pea sized asteriod blew through a guy in California and killed him. The police treated it as a gunshot wound/homocide until CSI found the fragment in the pool.

No it's not. There were tons of meteorites all over the place at my old house in San Antonio. If you found a piece of a satellite, maybe.

cameron00 - saw a show on the History channel about 5 years ago where a guy made a full time living by finding and selling meteorites. You might want to go back to your old house and do some collecting!

Yeah, I just googled it and you're right. I can't imagine the ones in my neighborhood were worth that much though. They were all over the place. Little burned mishaped iron balls. I bet they pack a wallop when they hit.

But, just in case, the next time I'm in town, I'm definitely going to see if I can still find some.

Some of them sell for a ton of money.

A couple of questions. Did it come down flaming, or glowing? Could you feel or see the actual impact? If you can't find it with a metal detector, it is made of stone!! By the way, If I were you, I would go buy a Lottery ticket!!!!

No flames, just a bright flash like any other shooting star except this one was WAY closer lol!. No noise whatsoever, almost like the partical was so small it just dissapeared when it hit the ground. It was pretty bright, & very fast. I'm not a gambling man, but I think I WILL go buy a lottery ticket just for the heck of it lol!

Bwahahaha, that's funny right there lol.I called a couple of my huntin' buddies & told them the story but they were giving me a hard time about it lol. They told me to lay off the whiskey etc lol, I was stone cold sober guys, seriously lol. We don't even have a beer until we get back to the house in the middle of the night & start cleaning pigs. I think if I ever saw an alien I would never tell a soul lol!
