At 9:40pm today give or take 5 or so minutes, I saw something streaking across the sky from west to east, location clearwater FL. Direction was WSW next the real bright Star there...(Too cloudy now to tell what constellation/Star, some planet/jupiter? is like 30/45 degrees north)
Description is a meteor bouncing on and off atmostphere and rotating? Color was orange fire looking then whitish bright, over and over. Like it was in a tumbling motion. (But also in time with Wing flapping as I think of it, have never saw orange fire color on a bird though.)
Never seen anything like it, cept' for in a movie.
I took like 5 sec, at like 30-45 degrees of sky angle...maybe too slow for some meteors...way too fast for a close bird(but kinda looked like it though)...Im thinking it was space debri.
This is also an area that where planes have a rout...it was not a plane. But, does give me a speed and distance perspective.
Is there space debri that will come in from west to east?
What would skip on the atmostphere a few times then dissapear?
Anyone else see this?
