SACRAMENTO (CBS13) A Sacramento man scanning the night sky caught a sudden burst of light through his telescope. He recorded that strange sight with his smart phone.
CBS13 shared the video with experts to see if they could solve the mystery.
This mysterious little tale begins earlier this week when Good Day Sacramentos Cody Stark got this message on Facebook: I have something on video no one has ever seen. I had my telescope out, caught an explosion in space. Wanna see the video?
Codys response? Absolutely!
The video was shot with an iPhone through the eyepiece of a telescope, so CBS13 had to enlarge it to get a better look. It was shot on Dec. 20 around 5 p.m. in Sacramento by viewer Elijah Prychodzko.
I saw something that Id never seen before. I saw another object orbiting this whatever it was up there, and Ive never seen anything like that before, said Prychodzko.

Nah, just the Chinese launching another missile off the coast of California.......

Air Farce !?
pretty good timing. he just had his cell phone in the eyepiece, the telescope pointed in just the righth direction to catch this. how did he know far enough in advance to get setup for the recording?
The new plot for Men In Black 4.
It was just light refraction or perhaps a seraph with gas.
right off the bat I saw a bunch of explosions. They were very brief.
Couldn't see the rest of the shower very well, but those initial collisions were head on and fantastic ~ lasting less than a second.
That's what they can look like when they come in from straight overhead ~
They're out there!
Vandenberg spook satellite went boom? (Considering the current regime, it would be to spy on US)
Looks like a satellite kill. And he just happened to be looking at the right place at the right time? Sure. Concur w/ the astrophysicist: This is not an astronomical event.
A distinct possibility. I saw my share of them explode in mid air by command detonation when I lived on base as a kid.
There has been a meteor shower going on the last few nights.
On January 25, 1878, The Denison Daily News noted that John Martin, a local farmer, had reported seeing a large, dark, circular object resembling a balloon flying “at wonderful speed.” Martin, according to the newspaper account, said it appeared to be about the size of a saucer, the first known use of the word “saucer” in association with a UFO.
Too bad he didn’t have an iPhone.
Dry cleaning bags filled with marsh gas.
It is an exploding weather balloon. The spot that seems to be orbiting is actually tethered below the balloon.
