Very slow moving bright object:

They claim its too slow to be a meteor and that may be true

TW....it looks just like a meteorite that hit ground in a lake in Alaska or the Yukon a few years ago.

Very nice large-ish size meteor. For it to burn that long and with intensity that didnt vary for 3 seconds at least, it must have been originally the size of a baseball or larger. Nice footage but pity it's so short (the usual annoying trait of these videos).

Indeed, but from what short video we have it does appear to be going too slow to be a meteor.

It could be bouncing off the thermosphere, where you would get minimal burning of the moteor and longest burn time, provided the trajectory is skimming the thermosphere.

A way to prove or disprove this to the scientifically minded would be to take the average composition of such an asteroid and the composition of the upper thermosphere and compare the colour of the light it gives off as it burns to predictions. (The colour of something burning in a medium can be predicted easily.)

If it were a UFO, why would it exhibit traits of being burnt up by atmospheric friction? Even if it were damaged and crashing, it appears that 'real' UFOs can withstand extreme velocities without a scratch, or even gravitational harm to the pilots. I have to stick with William of Occam on this one, but would appreciate any other arguments and thoughts.
