| Remarks | entered my vision left to right while driving N/W on Hwy 21 S. towards the Blue Ridge Mountain range . Saw the initial meteor then a brighter flash, It fragmented 2 pieces, The slightly smaller one went up higher while the larger one continued on its trajectory. Both burned out shortly after in the trajectories noted previous. I have never seen one like this. Might be space junk? |
