I'm curious if you guys heard anything....I was on BI with the family several Septembers ago and headed out at 4am to fish, the deck on the house we were in faced N or NW and as I opened the slider something screamed across the sky from the W to E...it was big and bright and from my perspective pretty close....a huge sonic boom followed it which shook everything and was loud enough to wake up some of the others inside....I always wondered what exactly it was, it was enough to keep me a little shaken for a while....I've seen plenty of shooting stars, some that were close but nothing that compared to this...

Didn't see that one (was looking south at the time) but I saw one like it several weeks back - just as described above.

Scott - meteorites hit earth all the time so if you hear a sonic boom your pretty close
