NEW YORK (CBS 2) — Did you see it? Chopper 2 HD sure did.
It was a bizarre, glowing red-hot streak in the sky — right at sunset Wednesday — moving briskly behind the Manhattan skyline.
CBS 2 reached out to a top astronomer who looked at the video. He said it looks beautiful, but that is was like nothing more than what’s known as a “contrail” — condensation from a commercial or military jet.
The aliens, apparently, are not coming.

This thing is way too fast to be any kind of aircraft. Strange, very strange.

Well, it certainly looks too fast for a commercial jet, but perhaps it’s some sort of military aircraft? It’s staying very level, also. Odd.

I agree, that thing is going way too fast to be a contrail from a plane.

Pentagon and repubic party hacks state that they do not know what it is... but that there is no reason for concern. Give them two days and they will announce that it was a Cessna with an oil leak.

Aircraft contrail lit by the sun.
The short life of the contrail indicates a lower altitude, which accounts for it’s apparent speed.

FR really needs a ‘Like Button’. That’s a classic.

I saw a *very* bright comet burn up quick in Austin at 6a Monday moving due east. Not slow and far away like a shooting star, this one was big and moving fast.

The “V’s” are getting ready to land.
As if we didn’t already have enough to worry about.

Looks like something entering the atmosphere like that big satellite that came in over the Oklahoma panhandle back in ‘03. I saw that, and it freaked me out.

Don’t worry, I’m sure Janet Neopolitano has declared it “no threat to Homeland Security”.
