UFO: Chicken Little

FireintheSky.jpg

Tonight Los Angeles had a fire in the sky.
I still have goose bumps; I was driving up Vermont and all the traffic stopped for some reason, so I quickly turned onto Olympic, and there it was. I've seen meteorites, meteor showers, and a few other things fall from the sky, but this....

It was falling, a white object, behind it a tail was left of crimson blue fire, a meteor, a nuke, no a missile...no a burning space craft, the white ball continued it's path and the tail grew larger and the object more clear, the it stopped in mid-space and poof it created this spherical ball of white light, moved forward then rather than continuing towards Earth, took of in another direction in the sky....

Myself, and everyone around me, was snapping photos on their camera phones and proclaiming "what the ---- is that!"

I searched the radio for some news, nothing....but Louise Armstrong singing "What a Wonderful World". Jenova saw this, I wonder what other people saw, what heck it was, and it there will be any answers.

If I was a primitive man, I would make cave paintings on the subject for the rest of my life.

Logic tells me it was just a mysterious meteor, but suspicion leads me to more.

I saw this too in Irvine!While awesome and inspiring, apparently it was an experimental military satellite launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base.http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/sfn_050922_minotaur_launch.html

Thank God. I was feeling a bit crazy, that would explain the stages I saw and it's apparent ability to direct its projection; what an amazing sight, I would be really interested in what it actually was; the trail of smoke like substance it left was luminous!
