I don't know.
What explosion? A rocket broke up on reentry. That's what they do.

I saw a fireball driving home from work one night back in the 90's. It was moving pretty slowly too, like a plane coming in for landing. The one I saw was shooting sparks. Awesome to see hey!

This won't post for some reason, but here's the video.

CHINESE ROCKET BURNS UP OVER NORTH AMERICA: The body of China's experimental Long March 7 rocket re-entered Earth's atmosphere on Wednesday night, July 27th, creating a bright fireball over the western USA. The glowing trail was spotted in Utah, Nevada and much of California. The Long March 7 blasted off from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center on June 25, 2016, to test a number of new technologies essential to China's developing space program. [photos]

I know how, that one just wouldn't for some reason. May be something on my end.

Probably already posted, but here's a HQ video!

THIS ARTICLE is saying it was the Chinese Long March 7 booster re-entry.

Based on tracking data provided by the Joint Space Operations Center, McDowell said the Long March 7 rocket reentered about 9:40 p.m. over Utah.

Problem I have with that is that I saw it to my South West, traveling towards the South East. Utah is much further to the East. Can't say I agree that it entered over Utah. The time is about right, though I'd say it was closer to 9:30.

Well it's the most plausible explanation. When I saw the videos I knew that it was no meteor, but possibly space debris.

Same for me with the one you posted.. but as I said if you take the title of the YouTube video and copy paste it to the search field and click the same video again you will get a working code you can use on ATS

Thanks for the video links... Allowed me to show the family what I saw last night. They thought I was crazy.

Looks like it was breaking up as it headed east, since I saw it intact in here in Northern California and the Vegas vids show multiple objects. So cool.

Theres a gaggle of videos now...
