Remarks |
Placed this report alongside another! I will repeat here what I said in the last, with more detail on this one:
Summary of the first, I saw a gorgeous bright red fireball slowly streak across the sky for anywhere between 30ish-45ish seconds, enough for me to get a 5 second video of the start before chasing down my coworkers to see. The tail went roughly from red to green to purple before blinking out.
As we were all standing there in wonder at how rare that was, my coworker pointed out a second phenomena. It looked like a slowly moving star, so I guessed it was a satellite, until looking closer- it had a "mushroom" like clear head and although it had no tail and was slow moving, it was faster then any satellite Ive seen! Within about 20 seconds the dot started to glow red and although there still was no trail, it was no doubt *something* entering the atmisphere. It stayed long enough for my coworkers to start leaving without me! I watched it fade into the horizon as the red dot got brighter, but at that point it was going out of view. Dont know if it counts as a fireball, but it had roughly a similar starting point in the sky as the last and since it occured immediately after the first, I thought it was worth mentioning
Wish I kept my camera rolling to prove all this, or at least get a good explination. Figured nobody would be interested, but that was before I witnessed how long both these lasted. Once in a lifetime experience, thats for sure! |
