I was just outside with my dog and saw what I'm pretty sure was a meteorite. It was just above me and pretty low. It was a yellow streak and then disappeared. It was pretty awesome.

Ahem....

METEOR.

It isn't a meteorite until it hits the ground.

True. But I assumed it was a meteorite because I think it was gonna hit the ground since it was so low. I should have been clearer.

I mean, you could gather the info you needed from it, it's just that they called something "diesel" and I immediately closed the tab. Get off my lawn.
