Nevada Unidentified Light

Tonight, several witnesses collected photos and videos of an unidentified light in the sky over Nevada, on what appears to be a horizontal trajectory. Does anyone have any good links or information on this topic?

Mysterious Bright Light Streaks Across Western United States

With information on the locations of three of the photo or video sources, we could estimate the flight path of the light, and possibly where it came from.

Its fragments of the upcoming monster Asteroid that is going to scrape by us before Christmas. If we are already seeing fragments ahead of this beast we are in deep trouble

Some fantastic footage in those videos in the link! Thanks, Ive never seen a meteorite like that, always see the flash type (shooting stars) but would love to see one like that on the way in!

It's a larger fireball remnant from the recent Geminids meteor shower that occurs during mid. Dec. You can see it breaking apart in the videos and the still shots. Ones of that size are actually much more common than most people think.

meteor.


a month ago at 7pm I was walking down my street and saw a meteor similar. had a trail of Amber sparkles like tinkerbell or fireworks behind it. it was surreal and really beautiful.

According to what I saw earlier it was a remnant of a rocket coming back down.

What type of rocket can back down in horizontal with engine running ?

Remnant. It was a stage that separated in orbit burning up as it reentered the atmosphere.

And here I thought it was the man in the red suit doing a test run in full burner.

It was his Annual.

That reminds me of a movie in my favorite timeline, "Yes Virginia, They Shoot Reindeer, Don't They?"

Per STRATCOM's Julie Ziegenhorn:

Cause of Bright Light Over Western States

I suspected it's flight path angle was too shallow to be a meteorite, but wasn't sure. Props to Zaphod - who said it was a rocket booster.

The mystery is solved



Here’s What That Crazy Fireball Streaking Across the Sky Actually Was

No one else finds it odd that a 'Russian' piece of hardware was flying over the US? Especially with all of the missile tests that the US has been performing in the West?

Zaph, does this happen often?

a reply to: matafuchs

Yeah. It all depends on the orbit it's launched to. Not really a big thing.

Low Earth Orbit

Once every 88-127 minutes times the number of satellites with a Russian flag on them. This includes the International Space Station.
