Was fortunate enough to see a fireball one evening- they are pretty cool to see. If I hadn’t been a smoker at the time, I woulda missed it. Had to smoke outdoors, and just lit the cigg and looked up to the sky to see it cross over the sky-
same here . One night was outside @ 1am, est .Florida by Orlando and saw 3 UFOs .. unknowns over head I had no camera , but days later others filmed it and posted and reported. It was so cool
Some fellow amateur astronomers and I were at a remote forest preserve, oh, I want to say the late 1980s, it was dark, we were all set up ready to start observing the sky, when we noticed, from the East, something light up and get really bright, moving straight East to West. It got so bright it lit up the entire countryside like daytime in an eerie green glow. I estimate it traveled across the sky for about 7-8 seconds to the West before it broke apart into smaller pieces and disappeared about 30 degrees above the horizon.
It left a smoke trail that we could see for about 20 minutes before it disappeared.
Haven’t seen anything like it since.
