nice find..

got any link of where the trajectory is going to rain down all that debris ?
ETA: this thread was posted a day ago and the link was made today..

Ok so its a" Spectacular Satellite Re-Entry Caught on Video"

whats with all the cheering/whistling at the start of the video?

It sounds to me like a celebration of some sort, like they are happy, perhaps they were testing something and were cheering because it flew?

Or perhaps they were cheering because they were witnessing something both unusual and exciting.

Antares put the Cygnus dummy into a low orbit. At that altitude the atmosphere is thin, but it’s there. Over time, drag affected the satellite, lowering its orbit, dropping it into thicker air, slowing and dropping it more. On Thursday night local time (Friday morning, May 10 at about 01:00 UTC), the Cygnus dummy payload dropped down enough to experience re-entry. As it slammed through the atmosphere at several thousand kilometers per hour it compressed the air in front of it, heating it up. The pressure and heat disintegrated the structure, and it fell apart, blazing across the sky.

Nice Vids!

hmm... a satelite? why does my BS meter hit red?

Wow, ok, as long as this doesn't turn out to be a hoax, this is not only different than anything i've seen (myself or on the internets) celestial or "mysterious" (craft, lights, etc.), but bleeping over-the-top! Even if its just something as mundane as space debris, what a sight that would have been in person!

My wife and I have seen the groupings of orangey lights which seem to move in formation a few times now, and that's what I was expecting to see here. This seems to be within the atmosphere, and not just moving across and down the way meteors do, but the scattered "components" moving in unison remind me of the way broken up asteroids can move as one through space - as though one object even though split into pieces.

I'm going to read thru the thread and check this one out wherever I can find. Interested to see if any good explanations come up!

ETA - ok, so I responded to the OP right away in my excitement, wasn't expecting answers that quickly when I read above where my post showed up! Still have to check this one out thoroughly, its way awesome of a sight even as space debris!

Agree here, and many Latin-American cultures are what I would describe as more "open" with their hearts - meaning if they' find something to be exciting, amazing, etc., they will outwardly express those feelings much more readily than most people in the US, UK, etc. I would say we in the US are as "stuffy" compared to them as we think of people in the UK compared to us.

Thank you!

Now we can shave this crazy-beard off with our shiny new Occam-brand razors.

Makes perfect sense; even more so than my lantern-theory.

Hope you get applauded for it

Hmmm...except this was recorded over two countries.

I doubt a team of wing suited jumpers would account for that.

I could swear i've seen other video of broken-up satellites where the pieces move "in unison" like that, but maybe i'm thinking more of meteors or something else. I'm off the Wi-Fi and don't want to give AT&T the money for streaming vid on my phone, but see if you csn find any other vids of satellite re-entry maybe? Its happened many times in the past, so either it looks similar to this - at least sometimes - confirming it as a strong possibility, or it has never looked anything like this, indicating a higher likelihood that your BS Meter is accurate.

Interesting read, thanks...

This is all of the below

Awesome,
Mysterious,
Scary (due to the mystery)

Amazing how some members rather die than simply accept a rare case of real UFO. Forcing the meteorite theory in this case in particular is absolutely pathetic. Just say "I don't know", be honest.

That is not a one way street...while i am not afraid to say "i dont know" what it is for sure i have to ask...
What made all these people take out thier cameras to start filming? What events took place that we, the second hsnd viewers did not see?

My guess, and again i dont know for sure, is something attracted thier attention...say perhaps a large flash or streak of light in the sky?

Why do we have to assume that something else drew their gaze? I would venture to say, what was caught on video would be enough to get attention. If there had been something larger to cause the people to start recording, we would have more than 6 videos. But alas, all any of us can do is speculate. (Until one lands!!!)

Meteorites maybe, it looks more like debris from something because of it's compact area. Possibly a satellite that has collided with something. Looks nothing like a space ship.

Oh. What does a space ship look like?

Please excuse me for replying to my own post here, but I forgot to add some links to evidence supporting what I wrote :- that trains are dependent on mass and especially the velocity of objects/meteoroids entering the atmosphere.

Here are a few papers on the subject:

Meteor ionization and the mass of meteoroids
Meteor Ionization and its Dependence on Velocity
Meteor-Trail Ionization Theory. IV. Ionization Efficiency through Collision of Vaporized Meteoroid Particles with Air Molecules
"ablation"

See my post, linked to in my previous post above this post - the UK (natural) fireball of 21-09-12 exhibited this characteristic of pieces moving "in unison". There is also no reason why man-made meteors can't do this, although I can't find a good example of one. Footage of reentries is relatively rare.

The Spaceship responsible for the lights we see in the OP video looked like this ...

some burning up as they enter our atmosphere

For them to ignite and burn they should have been traveling much faster if these are meteorites, In my opinion they are not, too slow and appear to changing directions as they fly by or I could be mistaken by the perspective of the video taker as they are moving as well.

Sorry for jumping in at page 13 and not having read all this thread my question may of been answered but could it simply be a bunch of balloons tied together
