just when you thought it was safe

Back a few years ago I witnessed a bright yellow fireball meteor streak across the sky overhead late one November night in Olympia, Washington. Never saw the like before or after.

Steve kindly drew up a sketch of what I reported, though I don't recall saying anything about a caiman. Here is his sketch on notebook paper, I've cropped out some of that meteor tail to focus on his sketch and not on my text notes.

Being chased by a fireball meteor is one thing but imagine being chased by a caiman driven fireball meteor! Chilling thought.
