In the old days, streaking referred to something entirely different than what several viewers texted, tweeted, e-mailed and called us about the other night.
Shooting (streaking) star. At least that's what they said they saw. Abilene folks said it was northwest. Humongous shooting star!!!!!
I didn't see it, and haven't seen any pictures. But this is apparently different than the Unusual Flying Objects we've been reporting on lately. Those are more like flashing lights and flit, fly and leave. Still looking for an explanation for those.
Shooting stars are meteors entering and burning up in the atmosphere. Happen a lot. But can be pretty spectacular, especially when it's a big space rock and takes awhile to burn up.
Keep us advised.
