Fire In The Sky

It was a clear but chilly April night and my friends and I along with my oldest son and his girlfriend were huddled around a roaring campfire trying to stay warm. Everyone was drinking coffee or hot chocolate as we chatted and laughed the night away under the stars. As I reached for a Marlboro and my lighter, I noticed a large bright green light in the southern sky. I jumped up out of my chair and turned around to get a better look at it. Everyone else must have noticed it at about the same time I did and jumped to their feet as well. We all stood there in amazement as this very large green ball of light traveled across the sky in a Northerly direction. “What the hell is that” was said by pretty much everyone. “It’s moving WAY to fast to be a plane and I have never seen a plane that bright before” I said. This ball of green light was the brightest thing I have ever seen in the sky. It was much brighter than a firework show on the 4^th of July and lit up the whole sky as it traveled. It also left a very large green trail of light behind it as well. It was one of the coolest things I had ever seen. Then in a flash, it disappeared into the Northern sky. After it disappeared, we all sat back down and came to the conclusion that it was either a space ship or a meteor falling to the earth. I was cool with the meteor theory. LOL

The next morning, Bitch Eyes came over with the newspaper that included an article about a meteor that crashed into a Wisconsin corn field. This obviously was what we had seen and were relieved that aliens had not landed on mother earth. I had never seen anything like that before and hope to see another before my time is up! That was one of the coolest things I have ever seen!
