Very funny!

I live in the high foothills east of Sacramento 17 miles SE of Auburn. I’ve sat in my spa and seen shooting stars and even got to see the space station all flying over slowly compared to this.

It was very close and moving incredibly fast!

Yeah. I seen something a bit back and reported it "here". I was told it was an Iridium flare.

But on another night about two weeks ago I was out looking for satellites with my binoculars and caught an object traveling at a tremendous speed. It looked closer than a satellite. Maybe a meteor just skimming the atmosphere?

I am also in the foothills of the Sierra. This light was very bright, had some green & seemed close. It shot down in an arc at a rapid rate. Though for sure there would be something on the local news. So far nothing.

I used to live in Granite Bay and you’ve got me missing it tonight! :)
