Anyone else see a meteor burning up in atmosphere around Boston Area?
Just wondering if anyone else saw it? At first glance it looked like a plane with its vapor trail, but unlike a plane the trail didn't linger and the front of the trail looked like it was glowing/sparkling.

Not sure how far you could have seen it, but I recall it being around 6:30-6:45 EST

And then SG1 enabled the hyperdrive so that it would safely pass through the planet.

what i saw was more like 8:00 EST. i know nothing about astronomy/stargazing so idk if that makes any temporal sense whatsoever compared to when you saw it in boston. maybe i saw something else. (at first i thought it was a blimp with a lot of lights, then i had no clue what it was.)

It was back dropped against a reddish, dusk sky.

Who are the Boston Police going to arrest for doing it?
