Family Unsure If Watching Beautiful Meteor Shower Or Just Boeing Plane

TEMPE, AZ — The Jennings family enjoyed an incredible light show in the night sky, though it was unclear if it was from a meteor shower or from pieces of airplane falling off a Boeing.

"Wow, look at the meteor... or maybe an airplane wing," said Steve Jennings, observing the show. "It's breathtaking. Or maybe really tragic, I'm not sure yet."

According to witnesses, the Jennings raced outside with their telescope after seeing some sort of object race across the sky on their way home from the movies. "Come on kids! These are rare astronomical events," said Jennings, before hearing what sounded like an explosion. "Eh, maybe it's a super common aeronautical catastrophe. Either way, it's going to be a great show!"

The family watched as pieces of unknown matter fell from the sky one after another in a blaze of glory. "This is either one of the best meteor showers I've ever seen or that plane really shattered," said Jennings. "It's so hard to tell these days."

At publishing time, Boeing had announced that it wasn't a big deal or anything but they would offer a $10 Jersey Mike's gift card to anyone who returned a missing plane engine.
