Saw an far bigger one in 1993 while digging clams in a no ambient light situation near the Olympic mountains. Absolutely scary. We three diggers stared at it for the 15 minutes it took to pass; we all felt like someone had just died. Weird and strange.

It was so huge it filled the space between two widely separated mountain tops; by the time it was visible in Seattle, it was mostly burned up.

There was no official announcement as to what it was, rather there were two very different and conflicting accounts both of which were too far away to be seen in Washington State.

The vids over city lights wash out most of the show and only the very brightest bits can be seen.

When I was young there was talk of putting plutonium in satellites as a power source... Wouldn't that have been fun if they had done that and if those things had come raining down.

It looked disturbingly like the shuttle Columbia crispy critter re-entry back in 2003.

15 minutes??? That is more than one item, it sounds more like aplatform for something coming apart and being dragged into the atmosphere for destruction.
