I've seen a shooting star in the daylight what does that mean?

Question

one afternoon about 4:15pm it was in october. I was driving home from my moms house and all of a sudden I saw a big bright yellow sparkling shooting star in the blue sky. It was in broad daylight. What does this means? Something just kept my eyes looking at the sky. It was pretty big almost as big as a fire works I couldn't believe my eyes. I made a wish after that is my wish going to come true or it already did come true?

Answer 1

wow i've never seen one ever i would say it was lucky

Answer 2

Well...seeing as shooting stars are just small meteors bursting into flame as they enter our atmosphere, I doubt any wish you make on it will come true.

How long did it stay in the sky? Are you sure it wasn't, like, a plane? That's pretty remarkable, to have seen a shooting star in the day.

Answer 3

It means you were very lucky. I have only seen one of these in my whole life and it was quite amazing. I don't expect to see another one.

I doubt that that a meteor of the size of a small pebble will have any larger impact on your life than those of the size of a sand corn.

But as long as you believe in it, everything is possible.

Answer 4

lucky you!

this hardly ever happens to amateur astronomers.

what you saw was either a very bright meteor or a fireball, if it had a smoke tail that was visible. other than that, it could just have been an iridium flare that looks very much like a shooting star.

Answer 5

How lucky you are! It is very rare and I have never seen such a thing.

Answer 6

All it means is that it was a meteorite that was a bit larger than average.
