| Name | Martin B |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This was actually a twin sighting. The 2nd occuring about 1-2 minutes after the 1st. Both originated and terminated in the same area of the sky. These were not airplanes or RC drones. They caught my eye due to the unusually large size and color. I grabbed my binoculars and observed what I can only describe as a large orange fireballs I know what commercial airliners look like and these were not they, nor nav lights or strobes, completely silent.. No visible smoke trail or defragmentation, Is it possible that what I witnessed was the start of same meteor that ended in TX? |
