SEATTLE – Around 7:30 p.m. Monday, KING 5 News' phones started to ring as viewers reported seeing a ball of flames shooting across the skies of Western Washington.
The calls came in mostly from Pierce and Kitsap counties.
Michael Witig and his wife were out barbecuing when they saw something streaking through the sky. They kept rolling as the fiery tail grew behind the mystery object.
KING 5 News contacted the Air Force, FAA, National Weather Service and other local authorities, but could not immediately find an explanation for what streaked across the sky and what was caught on tape.

A large meteor, typically looking like a fireball crossing the sky. They can be spectacular, sometimes you can hear them when they go by or hit the ground and explode.

A very bright meteor that looks like a fireball.

How do you account for the change in direction (Assuming the immage is not a hoax)?

That would be due to the magnetic flux maneuvering thrusters.

I don't know, that's odd. But I'm not an astronomer, or whoever would be an expert on meteors!
Maybe it's a UFO? :-D

I think it's from the video caught by someone there.

Do meteors make turns? I guess that was a bolide that I saw 20 years ago going over LA in the daytime. No turns.

That looks like a high altitude contrail being illuminated by the setting sun.
