I hit a bumblebee (at least that's what I gathered from the remains on my windshield) at 8000 feet over Iowa while building some twin time on a cross country.
Sucker was loud and scared the $h.. out of me!

What's it called when a space rock hits the ground? Is it a meteorite or a meteor? One of them burns up, the other makes it to the ground...
Anyway, I saw one hit the ground about 50 miles away. The news confirmed it the next day.

If it hits the ground the piece on the ground is a meteorite. What did you see? Did you see a flaming, streaking thing smash in the ground with a big bang or is that too Hollywood?

I saw a space balloon that was at 150,000 ft up. I was at 37,000 ft. IT was glowing bright with the sun setting and reflecting off of it. I thought i was crazy and i asked ATC just to ask and they confirmed it was a nasa space balloon doing atmospheric testing. WILD
