Couple possibilities

A friend told me a bunch of WWII fighter plane buffs have been on LI and in Groton CT last week doing air shows and reuniting veteran pilots. Maybe they were out doing a night flight?

Or maybe it was an all out assault by the little green guys looking for VeeMike?

Smile Always learning

You don't just learn about fishing on S-B. I was talking to my brainiac son (otherwise known as baitboy) about what I saw and he thought it was a super nova just like Rizzo. I had no idea what a super nova was before the other night. Very cool! May I add he gets his smarts from his Mom.

I was at Charlestown Beach and saw it at about 8:30 or so I guess. My friend, Eel Guy Jr., and I were pretty freaked out.

jredfly...

Hey jredfly;
were you at an inlet on the south cape shore?
My son and I were, and saw what you saw - we would have been across the inlet from you. Quick conversation across the water with you.

That was about the biggest shooting star I've ever seen.
Saw one like it from Weekapaug about 10 years ago. The whole ocean was lit up from Block Island over to Montauk...
