It seemed to fit the description of a \"falling star\" as it was about as bright as Arcturus, but moving and not flashing like airplanes do. I was extremely puzzled by this but reminded of another potential fireball I saw at Hampton University a few years back. That fireball was reddish-yellow, relatively bright, and did fragment into two distinct pieces before both pieces lost their glow. As for the one I saw on Oct. 12, 2012, it was not alone as I saw 2 more fitting the same description in the same general area: slow, steady, non-flashing, but definitely not airplanes. Lastly, there was a bright flash I noticed that night that I rationalized as a fast meteor, as I continued to look up, I remember those two bright slow-moving fireballs that I mentioned earlier as well as a terminal flash. I thought I was witnessing a celestial event that was not documented yet. |
