Kentucky Color: July 4th Twilight Warm up 2019-07-07 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Billy Joe writes, "Libby and I sitting on our front porch anticipating Columbia/Adair County's official fireworks, and were treated to this July 4th Twilight Warm up! The warm up not only included some amazing fireworks but a most beautiful Thumbnail Moon swimming through a glorious, blue sky, twilight. In addition and just a few moments later, we saw what I thought was the ISS, but according to my internet search, it was only visible from Columbia in the AM of July 4th. Oh well, just another pesky UFO sighting, I suppose!" Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
