November 21, 1978: Baraga State Park, Baraga, Michigan, 12:03 am. Gerry Brown Bear, a gangly, Native American man walks through the forest with a swift strut. There is no human activity at this hour. Just creatures of the animal variety. The stars paint the sky with an expansive fury. Different sounds fill the area but nothing foreign to the ears of Mister Brown Bear. Gerry made an excursion from the L'Anse Indian Reservation to try to see a meteorite or comet in the Michigan night skies.
