Hi all,
glad that I am not the only one who has noticed
this, ( I recall only seeing one which moved
down at an eight o'clock angle to the horizon,
seen behind the ships captain when he goes
on deck)
This one certainly had me fooled if it was a
special effect, even showing variations in
brightness when played back in slow motion.
I have not read anything about these possible
meteors in any literature, but they are the kind
of little details that Spielberg may well add to
a film.
