A Polk County Florida man videotapes a strange fireball in the sky over Polk County. Rhett Marcatos and his family saw the phenomenon on January 7th just before dusk outside his home in Davenport. Marcatos and his wife grabbed their video camera and began filming it.

Certainly could be.
The object is leaving two vapor trails. --------------------  QUEST FOR THE REAL TRUTH |

An explanation given by: Steve Nipper- Manager of Planetarium and Senior Programs at the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa, FL.
"This video is a good example of how an ordinary object, under slightly unusual viewing conditions can present a spectacular visual (and video) image. It is definitely a condensation trail, or contrail, from a jet aircraft. There were no re-entries of space debris on that day, and no reports which I could find in the scientific or aeronautical communities of a significant meteor entry. " "In addition, at around 6 minutes into the video, there is a second, fainter and lower, but similar object crossing the field of view perpendicular to the path of the first object. Also, the duration of the sighting indicates that the object was moving at a slow speed in comparison to a meteor or orbiting space debris. The speed at which the object crossed the sky is very typical of a high flying jet." -------------------- Peace&Love~rore

it could easily be a high altitude aircraft.....the odd color of the contrail being caused by the setting sun......but I don't think that its a U-2 as it appears to have two engines.
but as the guy said it doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary |
