"My dad took me out to see a meteor shower when I was a little kid, and it was scary for me because he woke me up in the middle of the night. My heart was beating; I didn't know what he wanted to do.

The Raleigh meteor video is a fake. There are a few other fakes, but they are obvious to casual viewers. I wonder how many readers here recognized the Raleigh video as a fake?

I was so glad that the Worlf Update news service highlighted the meteor in the slo-mo replay. Without the circle highlighting the meteor, I might not have guessed that the bright thing I could see falling though the sky the way things usually don't was what he was talking about.
