Thanks to "astro-girl-west" for providing factual information about this video. I hope some moronic mountebank doesn't rip-off her work and present it as more bogus "proof" of alien activity in Earth's atmosphere. It is up to informed, honest YouTube fans to monitor our valuable community. Commercial interests certainly will not. YouTube can not.
Only "We The Users" can protect the integrity of this precious information source.

@art01craftey highly unlikely. These meteors burn up in our atmosphere way before they even get close to the ground. During meteor showers you'll see some that last longer than others. And by longer i mean half a second longer lol. To be struck by an actual meteorite.....you;d have to be a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally lucky person lol

More like UFO's to me

i stayed up till 430 am ON A SCHOOL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!! to see this.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! -
No, but it would burn pretty badly. There's only been a few people ever hit by one, the most famous story was of a boy who was struck by one on the hand. it left a 3rd degree burn, but it was so small from burning up in Earth's atmosphere, that he lived.

no ¬¬
Cool vid. Question, though: What's the cloud or dust that shows up every few seconds? Is that part of the Aurora Borealis?

@DocWyldeCard No, it's not Aurora. It's just regular clouds, thin ones, that were coming and going through the night.

I used a Canon 20Da (a 20D that is modified for low light sensitivity) and a 15mm fisheye lens at f/2.8.

I'm curious: What type of camera did you use to record this? Nicely done. 5*

I used a Canon 20Da (a 20D that is modified for low light sensitivity) and a 15mm fisheye lens at f/2.8. Each individual exposure is only about 3 seconds.
