Anyone else wonder what it’s Ballistic Coefficient was?
That was probably a big bastard considering how slow it was going thru the atmosphere.
There was one over Wyoming/Utah a few months ago that was bright green, but it was moving a whole lot faster than that one. Tried to find the video, but failed. (stupid work computers anyways) My wife and I were watching TV and the dogs started freaking out, so we looked towards the sliding glass door to see the whole yard light up and the streak and flash as it died, somewhere over Utah.
HIT THE DECK!
that is pretty cool tho!
I was driving on 65 thru Kentucky one night and saw a pretty big one, not as bog as this. As it streaks lower to the ground, I tried to figure out when you should pull over and take cover in case it is a Tunguska type event.
Opening day of deer season here in PA about 10 years ago, a HUGE meteor burned up, could actually hear a sizzling sound as it went past. I seriously thought it was a missile for a minute.
That was cool. But I agree if I would have been in that Tower they would have had to clean the carpet…
As a young man I stayed up all night one night during the Aquarids meteor shower of 1967, was absolutely the most magnificent sight I have ever seen before or since, over 150 meteors per hour, for about 6 hours straight. I’ll not live long enough to see its like again. Only happens once every 80 years or so.
And NO reports of impact anywhere. How lucky is that?!
I saw one come in a year ago, exploded and lit up the sky and clouds red for a second. It was much faster moving than the one in the video.
There saying it was possibly the size of a baseball., pretty cool though.
about ten or more years ago a bunch of russian space junk fell back into the sky causing what looked like about 10-20 of those coming in ![]()
happened to be watching the sky in the right spot when that happened for sure was freaky
