You may have heard that our area experienced some excitement early this morning via an apparent meteor! A couple of our park cameras captured the landscape totally lighting up just before 1:15 a.m., and we thought it would be fun to share our view of the phenomenon. In this video, the first two clips are from the Grandfather Mountain Entrance Gatehouse (looking south or south/southwest). The last viewpoint is from the back of the Wilson Center for Nature Discovery (looking west). 🎥: GMSF | Gran
