the meetorete,,,shooting star

shit , i wish i could spell :)

i think it was in the early 80s, i did a few brick jobs in california.
i was on my way back to canada, about 20 miles south of the canadian boarder, about 2 or3 am. no traffic on the highway, i was in the middle of nowhere , very tired as i lefft luguna beach  and was driveing all the way home, lumby bc, without stopping for rest
i saw a light in the sky,  it was moveing across my windshield, it was a yellow ball with a green and blue tail, it got brighter and brighter, then exploded into many peaces, then the peaces  streaked across the sky together,seemed like some were going faster than others, like one would pass the other , then fall back again getting father and farther apart, each had there own tail and soon there was a long trail of meetierites. then as they arched towards the earth they seems to burn out and disapeer, it only lasted a half minute or less, but it was the most extrodenary thing i have ever seen
ii wanted to stope somebuddy and ask if they had seen it, but there was nobody to stop
when i got to the boarder crossing i ask the boarder crossing gards if they had seen it or any reports.  i tryed to tell them the story but they seemed disinterested and kind of said "ya,ya,ya".  like maybe they didnt beleave me
after i crossed the boarder i stopped at the first truckstop i came to, i was still excited about the sighting and wanted somebody to know. in the cafe i ordered a coffe and got the attention of everybody in the place.maybe 8 or 10 people. nobodyelse had seen or heard anything about the meetyor.  so i went all the details. everybody listened, some acted like they were interested but i think they were just trying to be polite
 i guess i sat there for a half hour or so talking to everybody
when i left i said, "well. when u read about the mettior in the morning paper u will remember me" i only got one answer, a truck driver sitting at the counter said" ya, and when we dont see it in the paper we will remmber you also"
i guess npbody ever beleaved that story but it surely was true
a year or so before i saw the meetor a friend was telling me a story about how he had seen a flight of ufo s.
he said he knew it was ufo s ,cuz they were traveling at different speeds, some would pass others and then fall behind again. he waas a good friend and i never douted his story, but i did figure he was mistaken about  it being ufo s.  after my sighting, i knew what he had seen.  i did try to explain it to him later but either he wasnt very interested or he didnt want to hear it. i never mentioned it again
