What is being called a rare daylight meteor streaked across the afternoon skies over Lake Ontario yesterday (Sunday, May 4, 2014) It was but a blip for most who caught sight of it. The mundane and really quite calm reaction of people in their cars is recorded on dash cams and chance video moments on their phones. “You were going to set the (unintelligible) on my phone,” says a hapless man to his friend. “What are you lookin at?” She: “There was like a fireball that came down and burned up.” Inset is the meteor grown to a burning blob on the horizon of a Toronto street. Newspapers are saying the meteor fell from the sky on what has become known as Star Wars Day (May the fourth be with you). This was almost precisely the same time the Toronto Raptors’ season went extinct, as the Globe and Mail notes. And so some people must insert humanity, frail human meaning and all, into this event. “God of the Brooklyn Nets gives sign to vanquished Toronto.” Meteor not a sign from God of Brooklyn Nets
