Quoting: Guitar Girl The guy also changed the title of the video to "UFO Crashing Releases Orb Over Southern California. Anyone Else See It?" Something that large and bright would have been seen by tens of thousands of people, at least. Anyone see it in the local news? I sure didn't. ...loooool...yeah sure ! all that people who are walking on the streets like zombies with theyr eyes down glowing in I_PHONES ????????????....u all are a bunch of alienated zombies on a stage !...glp is great day by day , it is all just SHOW , and it is hell of a fun ! :))))) So only one guy in Southern California saw it? |

User ID: 58314519 United States 01/05/2015 03:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Doesn't look much like a meteor to me. Too slow, trail as bright as the head of it, looks more like an illuminated airplane contrail than a meteor. Look at the footage of the great daylight fireball of 1972 or the chelyabinsk impact to see what a real fireball looks like. Still doesn't explain what the object is that suddenly comes out the back and heads the opposite direction faster than the original object. Truly bizarre, "UFO-like" behavior. Quoting: Dr. Astro My second thought was that it was simply added in with post processing, in other words, fake. As pointed out by Well, the first object appears "in front of" the power lines at certain frames. This may simply be due to saturation of the image because of the brightness of the object, but adding to my suspicion is the fact that this youtube channel did not exist before today. You would think that if he never had a youtube channel before today, and he created a channel specifically to upload this amazing footage, that it would be his first priority after creating the channel. Instead he appears to have liked a few sports videos and channels about 3 hours before uploading his video. Was he doodling around while waiting for an extremely lengthy upload of only 3 minutes of footage, or was he doodling around while waiting for a 3 hour render of a hoax video? You be the judge. Color me skeptical. I’m skeptical as well and leaning toward a fake. However, if it is indeed a fake, I would have to say that the both the trail and the object ejected would have to both be digitally manipulated. The trail has an interesting globular wavelike behavior that you do not typically see in contrails and interestingly enough seems to fit with the object that is ejected. If more videos surface of this same sighting, then I will be extremely intrigued by this. The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...' |

If that was an et then obviously they would be fine to eject from that height if they can make it to another planet. Looks like your not using your brain. |

The trail has an interesting globular wavelike behavior that you do not typically see in contrails and interestingly enough seems to fit with the object that is ejected. If more videos surface of this same sighting, then I will be extremely intrigued by this. Indeed. I'm not going to pass final judgement on this one way or the other based on the evidence I've seen so far. I looked at his video frame by frame in the important sections. My thought is that if it's fake then he probably added in both the first trail and the second object in digitally. The color, softness, and overall appearance of the two are strikingly similar to each other. Both the trail and the second object also exhibit proper motion blurring when he moves the camera. That could be done digitally, but it's a cut above the usual hoaxers I see on youtube. The way the second object turns into not only a trail but an undulating trail as he moves the camera is extremely similar to real point-like light source trailing I've seen in my own photos and videos when the camera shakes. It's a detail that few hoaxers would know to include, so if it is a hoax he knows what he's doing and he's familiar with photography of point-like light sources in a variety of conditions. That's scary to me if true, because it's much harder to detect the signs of a hoax from someone who actually has that level of understanding and skill. For the moment I remain skeptical based on his activity with his channel hours before uploading the video late last night, but already well after the early evening hours when this video would have been recorded (assuming it was recorded the same day). There's the fact that it looks like it's in front of the power line at times but that can be attributed to detector saturation and it seems like a careless detail to miss for a hoaxer who did a proper job trailing the second object. On the other hand, if he's that familiar with what a point-like light source should really look like when it's blurred by hand motion, he would likely also be familiar with detector saturation effects and might have included that detail deliberately.

It mustve deflected off of high atmoshperic swamp gas Space debris. Something with low weight to surface ration came off. |

A gas pocket in the meteorite heated up faster than the rest of it and blew a chunk off. Nothing to see here. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61358209 The amount of energy (Delta-v) needed to eject a meteor fragment in the opposite direction would surely cause the entire meteor to explode.
