Space Junk re-entry.

I got a video of similar on our security camera in the Denver burbs.

Sent it to local Fox station and have no response.

And NO, am not going to try to post it here.

Well, that is disappointing. All that prayer and small, furry animal sacrifices and I get a clean miss on Beijing.

It is time for the annual Gemenid meteor shower.

Some earth grazers are expected with this phenomenon.

Bigger ones slipping through next? IIRC, the Chelyabinsk meteor wasn’t spotted until just a few hours before it struck. Less likely now, but still a possibility perhaps.

I’m not sure it was spotted until it burned on in.
