19 year old James Salamites was driving with five of his friends in Hartford, Connecticut the night of October 14, 1975. He drove through a green light, only to strike a vehicle going through the intersection.
On November 13, 1833 the night became as bright as daylight, the heavens fell, and people feared that it was the end of times. The event was so dramatic that it sparked both a new religion and a new science.
