I was just sitting in my living room when this light shines in through our side windows and lights up the whole place.  CRAZY!  Who saw it?

THANK YOU, Kutcher, for SOMEONE seeing it
I was biking around 9th and 9th with my homie and we were just talking and suddenly I had the weirdest feeling of my life. The sky, for those of you that don't know, lit up like it was daytime, but in the on-and-off rapidness of fireworks, for about 3 seconds. It was ABSOLUTELY insane. My friend who I was with, facing it, said he saw the meteor or whatever fizzle out.
To be honest, I was fully expecting some sort of mushroom cloud or tsunami or fire wall to absolutely destroy humanity within 5 seconds of seeing the light.
I was expecting the end of the world. It was CRAZY.

After sitting up millcreek last night waiting to see a single shooting star, and seeing nothing, to THIS...wild.

I was watching TV last night and I thought someone was trying to steal my car cause I saw a bright light in my driveway.  It was a meteor though...I guess I should have known better.

I had exactly the same feeling.

I was driving home from the jibyard and saw that shit flying out of the sky, headed towards an almost certain impact and destruction of SLC.

It scared the SHIT out of me. It was probably the most amazing natural event i'll ever see in my life. that was amazing.
