On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse was viewable from Georgetown, Texas. HeyThereDlilah and I joined her parents and their neighbors for a viewing party at the posted coordinates. There was food and drink and music and excitement. Then the main event: it was a spectacular experience! I distinctly remember two odd things:
1. As the totality of the eclipse approached, neighborhood streetlights turned on and birds' songs changed. They thought it was night time! It was eerie and cool at the same time.
2. Something fell from the sky! I almost missed it, and I don't know if anyone else saw it because they were all focused on the eclipse. The timing seems very suspicious; I think whatever it is didn't want to be seen. Perhaps you can find it? By the way, I've waited so long to share this information because the object was super hot when I located it. I couldn't get near enough to identify it, but I was able to take some measurements. I'm pretty sure it's cooled down since then, so it's now safe to search. Here's what I noted in my journal that day...
From the posted coordinates, take a bearing of 306.4° at a distance of 715.5 feet. The object bounced off some structure there and continued another 606.6 feet at a bearing of 36.0°.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- If you decide to do your projections in the field, please don't go at night. The neighbors may find you suspicious. Whatever time you go, be prepared to talk to security about what you're doing. The final is in a public area.
- There is a checker below if you need it.
- Please don't post pictures of the container with your log. I want others to have the same fun experience as I hope you do. Happy hunting!
