Saint Paul, Minnesota Meteor ~11:30 pm 3SEP2011
I was walking west on 4th street in downtown saint paul MN.
It was 11:30pm last night. Sept 3, 2011
The thing was huge and so close, unlike any shooting star I had ever seen.
It seemed to be just above the buildings, had a giant blue tail, was balloon shaped.
Im terrible at direction, when I looked up, it was shooting to the left. It was just 2-3 seconds.
It was just unreal, the color and size of it. The spot I saw it was where I was 5 mins earlier.
I was walking to a neighborhood bar, when I turned around,
walked back to my loft grabbed a hoodie. When I got back to the spot where I had turned around, that was when I looked up and saw it.
Had I not went back I would have been inside the bar already and would have never seen it.
So I feel pretty lucky to have witnessed such an event. ~Micah Thank you Micah!
