Yesterday I noticed it in the sky, (higher than when I started taking pictures) and thought it was a weird looking cloud (vertical?)
So, I took a picture of it, then noticed it was slowly dropping.
It doesn't show in the pictures, but there seemed to be something very shiny (metallic) flashing in the sun, on the end that was towards the ground.
I've never seen an airplane crashing (except in movies, etc) but that's what it reminded me of.
It was falling VERY slowy, kind of drifting down, but it might seem like that if it was far away.
It was in the west (where the sun goes down) so from here, that might be northen New York direction.
I was standing on my front porch, with a large yard, sloping down to the road. The trees in the picture are on the opposite side of the road (you can see the phone/electric, etc wires running by) To give an idea of the size.
It could have been something small and close (though it was falling so slow I don't think so) or something bigger but far away.
After it went in back of the trees it sort of "hung" there, and I stopped watching for a few mins looked back and it was gone. Maybe it was the smoke that just stayed there for some reason.
I had the digital camera on ZOOM (2X) it probably wouldn't have shown otherwise. But it's not a lot of zoom like a 35mm telephoto.
I tried making it larger in PSP but can't see anything but the white "jet stream".
Anyone hear anything on the news that might explain it?
I've been showing it around and my daughter suggested "alien space craft" and someone else "a shooting star" (it was 3-4 in the afternoon).
I thought of a flare of some kind, but seems like it was coming from very high. I didn't see anything flash before I saw it coming down.
I know there's a lot of people from all over the world read on here, and someone might have an idea.
Maybe we'll never know (LOL)
