Posts made past 02:30PM 12/30/24 won't be on the new site!

We are in the final stages of resolving the issues with the forums move to the new location. After talking with tech support, the only solution was to send him a copy of all the images. This will take time - but we know the fix SO it's only a matter of time now.

Thanks again for your patience,

    Anyone from Reno area hear the supposed Meteor blowup over Southwest Reno this AM. Reports say it was heard over a wide area of NV & Sierras in CA.

    I was waiting for my friend at the FBO in Merced this morning at 0800 and there was a report of an aircraft down by Castle/Atwater. 5 minutes later over the police scanner at the FBO, it was determined to be a large meteor strike.

      Re: Meteor

      Strike? Do you mean it hit the ground near Castle? That would be a rare event indeed!


      (It's even more interesting to me because most of my family on my mother's side, from cousins up to my late, great-grandfather live (or once lived) in the Atwater/Merced area. I use to be able to see the lights at Castle AFB at night from my uncle's dairy ranch.

        Be interesting if they could find if & where it hit. Reports say it exploded as no earthquakes were recorded in the area.

              I didn't hear anything in Ohio. I clicked on this thread expecting to read about a tank engine

                    Ow! I think I'd rather have the tank fall on me rather than hear that one again!

                      We heard it, though it was a neighbor loading junk in his truck! Did'nt find out until later what it was. Pictures of it from Reno on the news, if only we had looked up!

                        I didn't hear it, but a couple of guys in the shop were talking about it this morning in Phoenix.
                        I think I was dozing at the time. Sunday starts late for me.

                          I heard a loud BOOM in morning. That was a meteor? I thought it was a transformer.
