Hello all,
I was just outside my house when I saw a VERY bright dot move from approximately 60°down toward the horizon ... I only saw as far as the treetops... around 20°. Rough estimates here. This traversal took around 1.5 seconds.... quite longer than I'm used to seeing meteors. Far too fast for an aircraft, far too bright and fast to be a satellite. It was like seeing Venus travel down the sky like a rocket. Any ideas? My location is 40°42'7.69"N x 73°38'49.47"W. I was facing NNW, approximately 8:20 PM Eastern USA Did anyone else see this? |
