1
00:00:05,630 --> 00:00:03,470
yeah last night we had a bright event

2
00:00:08,620 --> 00:00:05,640
picked up by all six of our NASA cameras

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:08,630
in the southeast and it was seen by over

4
00:00:14,299 --> 00:00:11,610
120 eyewitnesses throughout the

5
00:00:19,540 --> 00:00:14,309
southeast including the Carolinas and

6
00:00:22,849 --> 00:00:19,550
Georgia and Alabama and this object was

7
00:00:25,099 --> 00:00:22,859
described by many as having multiple

8
00:00:28,690 --> 00:00:25,109
colors and breaking up in pieces and

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:32,060
well it wasn't a meteor it moved too

10
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:33,570
slowly this thing hit the atmosphere

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:36,000
moving between fourteen thousand and

12
00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:38,130
sixteen thousand miles per hour and

13
00:00:45,260 --> 00:00:41,750
while that sounds fast meteors move at

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:45,270
24,000 miles per hour faster so it was

15
00:00:50,299 --> 00:00:47,850
moving way too slow to be a meteor and

16
00:00:53,330 --> 00:00:50,309
the angle it hit the atmosphere was very

17
00:00:55,729 --> 00:00:53,340
shallow it came in almost horizontal and

18
00:00:59,090 --> 00:00:55,739
that's not typical for me to your either

19
00:01:02,180 --> 00:00:59,100
so speed combined with the shallow entry

20
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:02,190
angle suggests that it was a rien Turing

21
00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:04,290
piece of space debris or something like

22
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:18,420
well if you look at the video you'll see

23
00:01:23,530 --> 00:01:20,640
yeah well if you look at the video

24
00:01:27,070 --> 00:01:23,540
you'll see that there are four distinct

25
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:27,080
objects there's a bright object ahead of

26
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:28,970
the main one which is the brightest and

27
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:31,040
their two fainter ones behind that

28
00:01:36,190 --> 00:01:33,530
trailing behind and this is typically

29
00:01:38,380 --> 00:01:36,200
what you see in a reentry where the

30
00:01:41,410 --> 00:01:38,390
object is breaking up and as the pieces

31
00:01:44,830 --> 00:01:41,420
fall off each one of them begins to burn

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:44,840
up and become self luminous so it looks
