Don’t point a gun at anything you’re not willing to kill or destroy!!

You wouldn’t have seen lights if it was far away, or if there was still light outside

Yea I get that and it was black dark. That is a cool picture.

Nighttime viewing in my yard of planets with my unloaded rifle through my super clear scope will continue.

It’s most likely a meteor or two, or possibly some space debris burning up on reentry. A comet wouldn’t have come and gone like that, as they’re actually in orbit around the sun and generally have long orbital periods—once they’re visible from Earth, they tend to stay visible for days or weeks.

Whatever it was, it was a pretty cool thing to see, I bet.

I bet he has a recipe for meteor soup that he was ready to try, and we know he’s gonna hit what he’s aiming at.

That rifle is my backyard rifle .308 with .3cc scoop of red dot and 100gr Powder Coated soft lead bullet.
That would just anger (tickle) the aliens.

That chart is in error. "Swamp gas" is actually Venus, the Evening Star.
