Increasing the mystery of what was in the western skies Wednesday night is a firsthand eyewitness report from Phoenix ABC15 Reporter Brien McElhatten. He saw two different objects. The first was a silent, small, orange light that hovered above the clouds for fifteen minutes or so before it disappeared going upward into the atmosphere. Then about 30 minutes later, he saw what he compared to a “roman candle” flying horizontally through the sky for four or five seconds dropping glowing material.
Others wondered if the fiery green, orange-tailed object was similar to the kelly green fireballs studied by Astronomer Lincoln LaPaz, Ph.D., in the late 1940s and 1950s. Dr. LaPaz came to the conclusion that the green aerial objects moved too slowly and on such low, horizontal paths – they must be intelligently controlled monitoring technologies. But whose? And why?

Well we know it wasnt the space shuttle it wasnt the satellite..I can hardly wait for people to start questioning the difference in time before the second object came down. NASA expects theirs to fall towards the end of september.

....Classic case of "swamp gas" or so some will say.
Someone else said helicopter. Towards the end when the object appears to be 5 sided with a mottled look, that sure doesn't look like any helicopter I've ever seen !

Here's what's getting in the way.
I nor anyone else can authenticate this YouTuber's footage. So let's put that aside for a moment.
What we can rely on are the hundreds of people who saw something unusual in the sky on Wednesday night in the west.
So in all fairness to the sighting, this YouTube in the OP should not negate or derail the mass sighting that occurred that night....

There is already at least one other thread discussing the California sighting. I thought the topic of THIS thread to try to use the video in the OP as evidence that the object seen in California (which is the subject of another thread) was NOT a meteor.
Therefore, we are discussing that video, which is the specific topic of this thread. Discussion on the sighting in general should be reserved for the other thread.
EDIT TO ADD:
I see gift0fpr0phecy beat me to it.

They may have mothballed the space shuttles, but they didn't destroy all of the videos ever taken of a shuttle night launch.
