Shooting star seen on 7-Sep-2015

[yuiyoshida]

These two dashcam videos have emerged on social media showing a huge fireball shooting through the sky in central Thailand shortly before 9am Monday morning. The footage above taken in Bangkok shows the fireball blazing through the sky around the 30-second mark.

There was no confirmation on what caused the fireball at time of writing. Theories circulating online, however, included an exploding helicopter or other aircraft; a meteor; or a satellite re-entry.

The fireball can also be seen in the short dashcam video below.

1. The ISS flushed the toilet.

2. When we think of meteors, we usually think of Arizona's Meteor Crater.

A stony one blew up over Siberia, back in 1908, with nuclear-size devastation.

Just a couple years ago another one blew up over Siberia causing damage and injuries.

3. Wow. Puzzling.

5. Actually it's not, unless something weird is found...

Otherwise it was just the last gasp of a rock the size of a skipping stone that found itself in the same place as a planet.

6. Thanks for the info. I'll morph from puzzling (to me) to interesting (to me). nt

4. Clearly a meteor.

You can see it pulverized by the thicker atmosphere.

7. Bolide

I've seen two in my life. Neither quite that bright. One of them I heard explode.

8. Traffic

Thanks
What's up with the traffic in that first video? 20 seconds in to it you see on the right a center concrete barrier to separate traffic, then there is a lane of traffic on this side of the barrier going the opposite direction. Never seen that before. What's the point of the barrier if traffic flows like that.

10. Two roads merging into one.

Earlier in the video you can see it's two roads. The barrier is there just before the merge is complete.

9. Very cool.

+1 on the bolide theory.

11. The flame out reminds me of what is in store for Trump in the general election.
