CORRECTION to my post #49.

Then there is the video the two young men took as it passed over Nevada.

That should be Arizona, not Nevada. They were in Wupatki National Monument (NE of Flagstaff) in northern Arizona.

The video, along with a still shot can be seen here.

Saw your correction now.

Saw the video.

That video is unlikely to reflect the occurances observed by the astronomers in California.

It appears the vehicle was shedding material prior to the loss of communication over Texas.

Very good catch on the video - and very sad. They were doomed as soon as they started the decent.
