[mistertoddy]

this looks like the footage that someone got of the space shuttle burnin up on re-entry!

[MaximusMingus]

please get your facts right, NOT geminid

[nikonguy102]

I just wasted 2 minutes of my life watching this crap

[joachim2464]

i think this is too slow to be gemini showe. Problably space debris or other debris reentering from earth orbit.

Have a look at this /watch?v=uB1bnziAIX0

Take note at first even a Denver astronomer thought it was a meteor. (he must not have been trained well) Later they go on to say what it really was.

Russian space junk.

[redshift40]

Yes, it looks almost the same as this video.

[matrix0071]

Hey give respect to the cool footage, russian or american , who cares eh?

[TheBulweria]

@Kowch737 hehehe of course LOL

[redshift40]

I don't get it, this is not a shot of meteors. it looks like a re-entry of some sort. The geninid travel at 22 miles per second.

[Kowch737]

It may be a meteor fireball?

[redshift40]

I looked for this on the net and I think it is just labled wrong. It is going way too slow to be a meteor. This is about 16 thousand miles an hour not per sec. If this was a meteor it would burn up in a tenth of the time. The Geminid's are also known for not having streaking tails.

[Bgkgtjh]

The fireball on the video is actully a so called Bolide.

[sunderking]

@Kowch737 Impossible. If it was a meteoroid, it would have burnt up already. If it was a meteorite, there would be definite impact. Having said that, I agree with redshift: it's more likely to be satellite re-entry.

[joachim2464]

its a big meteor braking up
