Remarks |
I have seen a few showers prior, and a very small horizontal one couple nights ago. Around Thanksgiving I saw one similar bright one in the North NorthEast sky, but a bit farther away. I deduced out any ambient light sources; and from past experiences, the speed and the location; it could only be a meteor object. I am no expert, just out riding my bike on a very cold night with clear skies; and looked up to a hot white very noticeable flash and gone. I would think it must have been upon impact to atmosphere, that I saw it. The movement was very short, fast and noticeable and defined. I likely missed any preceding arch. Way too fast for a firework, or falling object, and too opaque and well defined to be a reflection or spot light or anything; more like a hot camera flash in a focused area. It was much larger, than those I have seen in showers. Slightly bigger than the one I saw around Thanksgiving, or closer angle. When it gets near freezing in Florida, few people are out at 3AM, and sound carries. Nothing much around to confuse me, though it is an urban environment. No choppers, too high up and wrong angle, for any plane lights or reflection. |
