About 120 eyewitnesses were treated to quite a light show in the Southeast Monday morning. It was also filmed by all six of NASA’s meteor-observing cameras.

But NASA says that was no meteor. And UFO buffs aren’t buying the official explanation. As usual.

Have a look at the video and see what you think.

The American Meteor Society theorizes that the Thing was Russia’s SL-6 Rocket Body (launched back in 1992 as part of their missile early warning system) re-entering the earth’s atmosphere.

So it was space junk. I find that pretty easy to believe since NASA is currently tracking over 22,000 pieces of garbage in Earth’s orbit. And that’s only the bigger stuff. Tiny Things don’t get tracked at all.

It makes you wonder. What if an alien species did come to Earth…only to find that our planet’s orbit is pretty much a dump? Do you think they’d stick around? Or would they find a place where the inhabitants know how to pick up after themselves?

SomeThing to think about next time you see an object — identified or not — streaking across the evening sky.

I think I’ll go clean up my office. See you next week,
