Im in SE Nebraska, they just mentioned it on our local news, they said they had a lot of calls about seeing something. They guessd it was a meteor or sattalite debris, i didnt see it though.

Just witnessed two very fast traveling objects in the sky that had very colorful, streaking objects following them.

Ever see some of the videos of meteors caught on camera?

Some of those were pretty unreal looking too ...

[Heisenburger]

Aren't there a lot of nuke silos in that area?

Sorry, just hoping...

F16s scrambling, perhaps.

I saw a post on an astronomy forum from someone in Colorado who saw something
similar to your described event.
They thought it to be "space junk" re-entering the atmosphere.

My wife and three kids saw it also, here in the Eastern Texas Panhandle, there were at least ten lights with the brightest a brilliant white (looked like a shuttle launch), and the rest were less bright and changed colors from white, to yellow to orange, and varied in intensity.

They traveled SW to NE, and took about two minutes to cross the entire sky. My wife said it was angles, it was something out of this world.

It was just Osama and Mulla Omar on their magic carpets cruising east.

Interesting...I observed something very similar about an hour and fifteen minutes ago (approx 9:00 PM Mountain Time) while traveling home, East out of Albuquerque through Tijeras Canyon.

It was just above the horizon, walls of the Canyon, and seemed to be traveling NE...two objects, at first I thought Helicopters with search lights, flying out of Kirtland AFB...Just didn't get enough of a look to be sure, as they soon were hidden from view by the high walls of the Canyon.

KOB TV just reported many calls of sightings in Santa Fe and say astronomers say it could be meteors or "space junk."

They seemed to have a tail more like a comet, and didn't move anywhere near fast enough to be a shooting star, as I observed them for maybe five or ten seconds, in approximately the same location.

Definitely have to say I couldn't "Identify" them.

I know that NASA was talking about separating the mis-aligned supply pod from the space station. Was this it?

Santa?

You're not in Kansas anymore Dorothy. ; )

Could have been a comet fragment(s). The one I saw over Detroit a few years ago ( I believe 1999, about this time of year) sounds alot like the thing you saw. It streaked from one end of the sky to the other untill it was too far away to be seen. Behind it were broken pieces trailing behind at a slightly slower speed and decending slightly from the line the lead fragment travelled on. It was big and bright and was visible for about 30 seconds as it crossed the sky on a very flat trajectory.

I read about it in the paper the next day. They said it was a comet fragment.

I subscribe to a meteor mailing list and people have reported seeing it from Texas; consensus is it's almost certainly the re-entry of a satellite or space debris.

These pieces, while much, much larger than the rice or pea sized grains of a typical meteor, move much, more slowly, so you'll get a long-lasting trail and assorted pieces breaking off, flaring, etc.

Yes! I was beginning to think I was nuts *l*. I saw them also in the KC metro. They appeared to be quite a number of planes (could the color have been from afterburners?). They were moving from basically the southwest to the northeast in a level, straight line. I ran outside to get a better look. At first glance they appeared to be 2 orange streaks, when I got outside I could see what appeared to be planes and they were somewhat staggered, my count was about 15-20. At the end there was 1 plane in the middle of the 2 streaks, I could see the contrails on it. Within the next few minutes there were several more planes at fairly regular intervals. I sure would like to know exactly what it was.
