| Remarks | Thousands of fine golden sparks trailing, believe it was SpaceX debris that had orbited the earth since yesterday. Trajectory wrong for normal fireball meteor. For a moment though it was an aircraft breaking up, then realized it was at a high altitude moving at thousands of milers per hour. It burned out just over the Gulf coast south of Sarasota, coming from nearly due west and heading ESE. |
