same meteor? O’Fallon, Missouri.
Anyone out there know anything about meteors? That blinking doesn’t seem like a meteor to me.
Also, the meteor coming down from the left side of the image, but look at the right side. It looks to me like something is rapidly flying up to meet it. What is that?
It’s fairly typical for meteors to “blink” like that as the friction of the atmosphere creates fissures in the surface.
I saw the upward motion you referred to, but it shows up after the main bright event, so the timing is off.
I found the blinking light behind the meteor which is likely a commercial aircraft to be the more interesting piece. I can only imagine the show they must have seen. Wonder how often they see those type of things while they are flying along.
The two bigger ones I've seen did that, perhaps exposing new burning material. As for the light on the right I believe that is the result of bright light, dark night and its effects on the edge of the lit up area.
My husband and I witnessed a fireball as we were driving home from church several years ago.
I was gazing up at the night sky looking at what I thought was an airliner, when suddenly the light started going around in a circle, then BOOM! The sky lit up in all directions.
At first we thought a terrorist may have blown up the airliner, but the explosion was so bright, we realized it was a comet.
Needless to say, it was an awesome, unsettling experience. We didn’t say a word to each other for the rest of the ride home.
