There are lots of superstitions about dates like 01/11/11.
In the Baton Rouge, LA area a unidentified flying object was spotted. Many claim it was a meteor or some type of space debris. Some say it was an airplane backfire.
I just saw what appeared to be a blueish ball of fire (similar to a falling meteorite) falling through the sky as I was looking south from Skyland Blvd. Didn't look like it was far off though. It looked like it was something close. Gotta be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen
Dude. I swear to god i just saw the same thing. At the exact same time. 8:48. I was sitting in my recliner and i saw it in the sky out my window. It was really big and kind of bluish-greenish and very bright. It was so shocking that i literraly jumped out of my seat and ran outside. And I'm in Baton Rouge.
Sounds like a meteor, they usually explode when they pass through the atmosphere.
Agreed. It was pretty large, but it didn't look to be moving THAT fast, so if it was a meteor than it definitely didn't hit anywhere near here. I was iffy about it being a plane because it was a brighter color than what you would expect to see from a burning/falling plane.
Apparently Twitter was going nuts too:

But looks like folks in AL, MS, LA all saw it.
Then one poster on a local Baton Rouge forum posted a news link:

January/February Alpha Centaurids -- what they call a minor meteor shower.

So... what's the story and relationship to AFF? Well, apparently a WPF Young Minister's Conference called Vertical was going on at the same time. And they are waiting... they are claiming this one is a work of the Holy One, a supernatural manifestation of the Spirit similar to the Pentecostal Experience in
Acts 1-2. Apparently, at the same time, they were praying and having a "shower of God's glory." Some time later, fire department officials arrived at the conference. Other details are sketchy. But here are a few WPF minister tweets:

Quote:
Police received an anonymous phone call during the altar call at "Vertical" conference that a flaming meteor landed behind the church.
They called airport tower to confirm, & they said they saw the huge flaming meteor drop from the sky as well. Police came to investigate
FLASH!!! Rev. Johnny King preached "In Defense of the Pulpit" in Vertical Conference and presence of God fell from sky! Read below

Classic example of Pentecostal hysteria or "cloven tongues like as of fire?"
