[UPDATE 6:20 a.m.] Did You See Something Fiery Just Fall From the Sky?

Did you see a fiery thing fall through the sky at 9:35 tonight? We know it’s the Delta Aquarid meteor shower which will peak tomorrow but Southern Humboldt resident Sharon Amirault said it looked bigger than a meteor.

“We just saw it drop out of the sky,” she explained. “It was insanely big and [it] split…It was huge and looked like it was trailing smoke.”

From west of Miranda it appeared to fall in the area of Alderpoint/Island Mountain.

UPDATE 10:31 p.m.: One of our readers pointed us to this site that shows the trajectory of some space junk. With the info there we tracked down that this appears to be a rocket body that was launched on June 25, 2016 from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center in China.

If you missed it, you can watch it fall in Utah in this video tweeted by Matt Holt

You can see a photo here.
UPDATE Thursday at 6:20 a.m.: This video posted by YouTube user AdmiralTrevMan shows the object as it went over Las Vegas.

Hat tip to Lake County News for pointing out the video.

We saw it fall from the sky directly east of us. We’re in central California. Appeared to us to be over the Sierras. Big flash… long tail… And then broke into two distinct pieces. Guessing we watched it for about 20 seconds start to finish.

I thought it was a large airplane that was going to crash. I watched for the explosion on impact but there was none. It seems to have just disappeared. I’m a mile up alderpoint Rd. and it looked like it was falling in my backyard.

Thats funny because on Bell Springs tonight a weather balloon or something was spotted floating in the air at about 45 degrees. It was like a ballon, doughnut shaped, clear and appeared to have cables or strings tethered through the middle like spokes in a tire when you looked through binoculars. It was too high to get a pic.

Wtf and spectacular were certainly appropriate descriptives! the vids being posted online do NOT do it justice, and the official “explanations” certainly fall flat like a terd…we were witness to a monumental event at a pivotal time in world history. stay tuned.

I heard what I thought was an explosion (or thunder-crash) at about 9:30 pm, followed by two smaller ones. Called neighbors to check, and watched the sky for fire for the next half hour. We saw and heard nothing after that. Eastern Mendocino, deep in a N to E canyon af

This was the single most incredible, unexplainable, and awe inspiring moment ive had in my life. Real life deep-space 9. Space junk? A “second stage” chinese rocket? Oh please. That looked like the Death Star breaking up on re-entry, with an escape pod getting ejected at the end…

Chinese space station they lost control of fell.

Makes one ponder how Apollo was so successful when near Earth orbit is so challenging even with today’s technology.

Really, Chump, and you believe the “official story” on 911 as well, I assume?

I’m in central California and a little after 9:30 ish I seen what at first looked like a big airplane turning with peices shooting off of it . It looked very similar to that of a sat. falling back to earth and breaking apart as it entered the atmosphere . It was in view for a good 30 -45 seconds it was pretty slow and the 2 big parts were kinda tumbling which made it look like a plane turning .

Was sitting on my porch around 9 or 930pm and a white looking ball passed south to north above Wichita, Ks. Thought at first it was a meteor, but it was to big and it only lasted a sec and then gone. It had a very small tail that with the naked eye was about a foot long looking up. Thought “How cool, a missle is going to hit”, but there was complete silence. The pics n videos on here Was Not what I saw. These on here lasted Way longer then mine. A lil like a baby moon with tail lol
