Keep watching the skies!

Speaking of watching the sky's .Did anyone see anything last Saturday that
looked like a piece of space debris burning up? About 10:30 PM last Saturday in
sourthern Ohio about 6 of us saw something streaking across the sky from NW to
SE or there abouts .It was about 25 -30 degrees off the horizon and was visible
thru an arc of about 40 degrees horizontally and lasting about 7-8 seconds
before it went out of sight behind some trees. It was a burnt orange color and
seemed to spewing sparks of the same color .Kinda like grinding a piece of steel
on a grind stone.A small piece seperated from the main portion and only lasted a
couple of seconds.

I've seen tons of meteorites of various colors but I can't believe that this was
one. It seemed too slow ,everyone remarked that it seemed about the same speed
as the Shuttle break up.

Just wondering if there's a place that lists times of space debris coming out of
orbit,I'm really curious about what it might have been.

AND no I wasn't drinking any Muzzleloader!!!! :-0

See ya

Rich S.

You know he claims to be a test pilot maybe he was testing the phugoid
oscillations of a piece of space junk. He's running out of planes to test so he
has to start on space craft:-) What a guy!! Looping ,rolling and spinning the
MIR space station as it fell out of orbit ,then waiting for the last second
before total burn up and bailing out with his personal ablative shield recovery
system.Finally free falling for 100 miles and spot landing on a bulls eye at
the Golden Knights training field...All in a days work for the mighty zoom!!!
It's no wonder some people worship him LOL!!!


See ya

Probably a bolide (sp?)... basically a large, fiery meteor that breaks
up as it enters the atmosphere. Sometimes there's even a sound track
to go along (if it's close, that is). Some of them can be pretty
spectacular - I've only ever seen a few of 'em, and I spent lots of
nights laying on my back counting meteors (I must have had free time
when I was a kid).

You'll see all KINDS of amazing things if you drink that stuff.
