Boom! And other onomatopoeia

Anyone else hear about the meteor over the Pacific Northwest? At least, the initial assumption was that it's a meteor.

An earlier report on KIRO Radio that a meteorite might have hit near Chehalis, about 30 miles south of Olympia, turned out to be false, a University of Washington scientist who specializes in meteorites said.

Toby Smith, a lecturer in astronomy, said scientists were looking into the cause of the skybursts reported over a wide area about 2:40 a.m.

Witnesses along a 60-mile swath of the sound from near Tacoma to Whidbey Island and as far as 100 miles to the east near Ellensburg said the sky lit up brightly, and many also reported booming sounds as if from one or more explosions.

Is it just me, or have there been an unusual number of wonky "phenomena" of late? I don't want to start straying into tinfoil hat territory here, but it just feels like we're entering a time of... well, for lack of a better way of putting it, a time of importance. Shit is happening. The world is changing.

More later when I can put a finger on this feeling. It's not just me.

Don't worry. They're just testing the missile defense on the sly. It's not like aliens are invading...
