Well I don't know about magnets but I've seen a few shooting stars...

At the risk of sounding loony toony, I'll tell you when I lived in New Port Richey FL I saw a HUGE fireball that was about ? a mile away from where I stood on my front porch. It was early evening and the sun hadn't set yet. It wasn't travelling as fast as a regular shooting star and I could actually see the flames and smoke behind it! I lost sight of it but it must have gone down in a wooded area. This was in the days before anyone had a cell phone camera. I sat glued to the tv waiting for it to be on the news, but guess what? It NEVER was! That's when I knew there was a lot of stuff that never gets reported.

At other times I saw both red and green shooting stars that looked sort of like a roman candle, but couldn't have been. And once in the daytime in a clear blue sky!

Then there was the Christmas time my daughter and I were singing,"Joy To The World", in the back yard when a big BLUE shooting star scratched through the sky. Only ever saw one blue one...

Another is a bizarre timing when I was listening to U2 The Fly and walked out the door and a shooting star fell straight away! My chin hit the floor. God is my Witness.



My mother in law knew a reclusive engineer who long ago told her about his memories of Mars... I believe it!
