Traveling at the speed of light in Seattle....

Was awakened this morning at 2:40 AM by a loud explosion and then the house rattling for a few seconds....then complete stillness.... very unsettling....my first reaction was a mild earthquake... then I thought possibly a bomb or plane crash... this morning on the 5 o'clock news it said there was a huge meteor that streaked across the sky last night setting off sonic booms and lighting the sky up in a whitish green glow...( did not see that part....)... evidently 100's of people saw and heard it and thought it was a plane going down.....

The Men in Black say: you saw nothing. Just go back to sleep. Everything is normal.
