I just saw something streaking across the sky...

coming from the northeast. Not sure what, but Vandenberg is not in that direction, and that's usually where we see the missile tests.

It's probably nothing serious, but w/ that fucking Trump you never know.

3. If the radiant is below the horizon, yes.

4. They can

They don't care where you happen to be standing when they hit the atmosphere.

First time I saw Orion "upside down" in the Southern Hemisphere, it freaked me right out.

5. I saw the very beginning of it and

it looked like a plane climbing at mach speed. The contrails were at least 200 miles by the time it went over the horizon.
I think this was a missile....probably testing, but....Trump

9. Our windows usually rattle when missiles are tested or satellites launched at Vandyland...

Didn't hear anything earlier tonight.

12. I lived there about 50 years ago.

It was a cool place. There is this huge "missile buffer" which was my own nature preserve. It was just awesome. Right in my back yard. I would hike for miles. The beaches were cool also. No swimming due to under current. The water was cold, unlike Santa Barbara. Fog every day. Sea caves. Just an awesome place to be a kid.

13. It does sound like a great place to be a kid. I've been in Goleta since 1979, when my kids were ...

...toddlers, so they grew up on this side of the mountains. I'm glad I stayed. One of the only bad things about the immediate Santa Barbara area is the brutal price of housing.

10. It was me. Sorry. I got lost.

I did think I was moving too fast for anyone to notice I was streaking though.

11. I saw this one falling from the sky a few days ago while driving in NC

It was the lowest meteor I have ever seen in my life- At first I thought it was a low-flying plane, but I watched it turn a greenish blue and disintegrated before it hit the ground.
