Title: Nachricht

Living in England myself (on the south coast), I have been an amateur astronomer for 20 years (on and off) I can tell you our skies are pretty quiet!   I saw a bat once… and that’s about it.   What amazes me is that so many people seem to see major fireballs etc! do they sit there and stare up all night, every night???     (Maybe I should try taking the lense cap off my telescope)… J     MF       -----Original Message----- From: Rosemary Hackney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 March 2004 02:53 To: Bernhard "Rendelius" Rems; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Mystery Lights Observed Over England   I saw a Black Helicopter today. No sound. No darkness.. No leader. No companions.   Rosie ----- Original Message ----- From: Bernhard "Rendelius" Rems To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 2:23 PM Subject: RE: [meteorite-list] Mystery Lights Observed Over England   Well, I can only talk about my personal experience.. I have seen several extremely (!) bright meteorites - amongst them one that was reddish/blueish/whiteish, one that was pale and exploded into may sparks, one that was as green as bruning copper. I have observed weather balloons, I have seen Mir with a tail of objects following, I have seen head on meteorites, I have seen meteor showers,If this person has been an amateur astronomer for a long time, he won't be unable to identify landing lights of an aeroplane,
