UNEXPLAINED OBJECT IN SPACE

[deere0826]

Last night my little girl came and got me about 7:00 pm and said she saw somthing in the sky, i went out side and in the high western sky I could see a single point of light like a star but it was shrouded in haze and looked like it had a tail, looked very simular to a comet but it moved very slowly to the north east and then faded to the point I could not see it anymore. I saw it with the naked eye, I called my father on the other side of town and he confirmed this object, I felt when I got up this morning there would have been some talk about it but I have not heard anything about it, I live in eastern n.c., and was wondering what this was it was clearly in space and not entering the atmoshere. thanks

I dought that it is rocket fuel, I think it is somthing else

Why do you doubt it, since it makes perfect sense and occurred at the time you saw it?<br /><br />Have you ever seen rocket fuel before?<br /><br />What looked different from your revious rocket fuel sightings?<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

I guess your right, when you get caught up in a moment of seeing somthing strange, I guess you want it to more than just rocket fuel.

It was an alien attack ship with forward area projection attack device unit designed by vogons, and you know it.<br /><br />Either that or rocket fuel/ swamp gas/ weather balloon/ planet Venus. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="color:#ff9900" class="Apple-style-span">-pyoko</span> <span style="color:#333333" class="Apple-style-span">the</span> <span style="color:#339966" class="Apple-style-span">duck </span></p><p><span style="color:#339966" class="Apple-style-span"><span style="color:#808080;font-style:italic" class="Apple-style-span">It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.</span></span></p> </div>

Or, it could have been a known launcher dumping fuel as expected.<br />You never know <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

There is currently an article on the front page of http://www.spaceweather.com/ about it.<br /><br />NOT A COMET: Last night , sky watchers from England to Florida to Canada witnessed a new exploding comet--or so it seemed. "It looked like Comet Holmes!" says Alvaro Garay of Casselberry, Florida. Chris Schierer of Cazenovia, New York, saw the same thing and "wondered how such a bright naked-eye comet could have been missed." He snapped this picture using a Canon 20D:<br /><br /><SNIPPED PICTURE! /><br /><br />A pair of objects streaking through the cloud suggested "a satellite explosion or fuel dump." The latter is correct. This cloud mimicking Comet 17P/Holmes is fuel dumped from the upper stage of an Atlas rocket that launched a classified satellite into orbit for the National Reconnaissance Office on Dec. 10th. The event created a splendid display for about 50 minutes and then faded into the night.<br /><br />EXTRA: See the fuel dump on video captured by Kevin Fetter of Ontario, Canada. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000">_______________________________________________<br /></font><font size="2"><em>SpeedFreek</em></font> </p> </div>
