I was watching a movie several minutes ago (in West Palm Beach, FL) and saw out my window (facing east)a large shining object quickly plunge from the sky. It freaked me out a bit. Did anyone out there see it?
I saw one similar back around 1990-1992 and years later saw it on Discovery as it was captured on video.

It was probably one or more of Tiger Woods’ endorsement contracts.
Hey buddy,(hic) did you jesht shee a real bright light?
More likely the Norway E.T. come calling.
Air Force has been flying this past couple weeks over the Avon Park, Fl bombing range. Don’t know where they originate from, could be Atlantic or from the Gulf. Do you think it was a flare?
It must have taken out the FR servers for a while.
John Conner at your service!
Anybody know why FR went down?
Probably a straggler from last month’s Leonid meteor shower.

Have you had cataract surgery?
FR was down for about 20 minutes or so.That is one big gerbil riding that wheel maybe he got tired. LOL
This is fascinating. People on Twitter wer reporting it as well. Someone wrote that they saw on the news it made impact in Alabama.
That makes sense because the one that I saw in the early 90’s, like this one looked like it landed just a few miles away but 12-13 years later, when I saw the video on Discover, they indicated in was thousands of miles away from where I actually was at the time (Pittsburgh, PA)
Here’s the link regarding the one I just saw.
METEOR RADAR: The US Air Force Space Surveillance Radar is scanning the skies above Texas. When a satellite or meteoroid passes overhead—ping!—there is an echo. Activity is picking up this week as Earth enters a stream of debris from extinct comet 3200 Phaethon, source of the annual Geminid meteor shower. Tune into Spaceweather Radio for live audio.
