Its cloudy as usual for celestial events. I say everyone get their leaf blowers out point upwards, and we turn them on at the same time

Fairly visible here in Des Moines, Iowa. Drove about 10 minutes outside town and saw them for the first time in my life

Is this from the men in Black Movie???

[@Cline3911]

@@spiritmiracle8032 No. The first part is from The Simpsons. Season 7. The episode is titled: "22 Short Films About Springfield," Search for "Steamed Hams" and you'll find every conceivable version of it, including the original. The other part is from an early 1980's movie named "Night of the Comet" where most of the earth's population dies, save a couple of valley girls, and a truck driver. Good for a B movie. *WE DO NOT CROSS AGAINST THE LIGHT!
