There was a big massive flame in the sky, no joke, I nearly choked on me ciggy when I saw it. :eek: do you think it was the spacestation that blew up or something? :eek: it was a big ball of fire in the sky, all orange like.

I remember something like this happened last year. Turned out to be a flying chinese lantern.

goat2 · 08-05-2010 11:53PM

Cowen lighting his farts again :rolleyes:

Saw a massive massive yoke a few weeks ago, think it was a Chinese Lantern but certainly didnt look like one.

the space station passes over every now and again, seen it a few times, its cool!

El Weirdo · 08-05-2010 11:55PM

No, but I saw the night sky figuratively 10 mins ago if that's any help.

mike65 · 08-05-2010 11:56PM

What that was, Mr Onesimus, was light from the sun refracting off the Earth's atmosphere. Nothing out of the ordinary!

Was it moving slowly? If so then it was a chinese lantern.

It's spelled Eyjafjallajökull but probably pronounced the same

a chinese lantern would not be a big massive flame in the sky, i would be a orange dot, that would look out of place and weird,and would hardly cause someone to go into shock and drop there ciggy,
unless op gets excited easily

df1985 · 09-05-2010 12:00AM

its the space station, its passing over again tomorrow night and for the next few days if people want to see it.

Space stations don't blow up in a fireball. Fire can't exist in the vacuum of space.

Probably just a meteorite, unless there was something in those cigs of yours.

What exactly were you smoking?

yoshytoshy · 09-05-2010 12:02AM

Possibly a chinese lantern passing by a flock of birds that just farted ,would account for the sudden burst of combustion.

Onesimus · 09-05-2010 12:05AM

I'm telling you this thing was on fire and it was HUGE, someone MUST of saw it? I've never seen anything like this in me life honestly.

The only thing I could think of was that it was something that blew up in the sky and that it could of been the space station.

Only someone who saw it will get what I'm on about.

argosy2006 · 09-05-2010 12:06AM

Could be an airline brought down by the volcanic ash :eek:

I certainly hope not

but this looked like it was definitely in outer space.

MayoForSam · 09-05-2010 12:11AM

Would be some fireball/serious amount of ash to take out an entire airline.

Must have been Jeff Goldblum blowing up an alien space ship with MSDOS again

Hope simpsons do a Kang and Kodos tribute, its only fitting.

Fremen · 09-05-2010 12:16AM

Goodness gracious!

BearsyBoo · 09-05-2010 12:17AM

JerryHandbag · 09-05-2010 12:17AM

Its probably the apocalypse. Nothing to be too concerned about.
