Man Captures Video Of Strange Explosion In The Sky

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 Sacramento’s 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?”

Cody’s 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 I’d never seen before. I saw another object orbiting this — whatever it was up there, and I’ve never seen anything like that before,” said Prychodzko.

That explosion does not appear to take place in outer space but much closer up.

I saw my share of them explode in mid air by command detonation when I lived on base as a kid.

Small world. That wouldn't have been around the early 60's would it?

Ah, I was a few years ahead of you then. The family left Vandenberg when my dad retired in ‘63. I would have been about 16 years old. To this day I can remember the rumble and roar; the occasional explosion and the rare treat of wind blown debris falling back to ground.

Yep. I distinctly remember watching a missile launch from the front yard and it started heading inland soon after launch. I’m guessing it was at about 10,000 feet when it was command detonated. A remnant of one of the stages sliced through the roof of a trailer in Lompoc and came to rest over the top of a baby crib- no injuries, fortunately. Missile tests and failures were fairly common then.

Wow. Those news chatterers are just brilliant, aren’t they. The possibilities that they posit are just so reasonable and likely. /s
