I just saw a meteor drop over the southern tip of Manhattan. Not sure if that's a good sign or not.

I was sitting on the promenade facing west when what I thought was a plane caught my eye, traveling from behind me to the south across the bay between the Statue of Liberty and the Battery. I then realized it couldn't be a plane because it was traveling very fast and was near-vertical.

It disappeared at about 25°-30° from the horizontal.

I had no sense of depth — for all I know it was over NJ the entire time.

I'll take it as a propitious sign, 'cause I really can't do with more bad or grim news, or terror warnings, etc.
