I am concerned we are in the time warp if you will when there is things getting really close and we dont catch the via telescope or observation sites. This is the first time in my 38 years I have seen a article from space that looks like its traveling close to the speed of a 747 aircraft on final approach. I have aviation in my past and have seen many finals of many types of aircraft. I seen and opinion it as.. It was big and not of great distance and not of any travel speed wise I have ever seen in my time.. Jeff
