before it fizzled out. a it could either be a meteor or it could be space junk. now, keep in mind, there are 22,000 objects that are surrounding and orbiting our planet. some are the size of apples or some the size of full scale engineses. i want to give you global perspectives. meteors come in at a much faster speed. as they come in sometimes as high as 160 miles an hour. they come in at more of an oblique angle with space junk that we have, hundreds of thousands of them, small ones the size of even screws that are circling our planet. that come in at more of a flat angle and drop in and they go at a far slower rate. sometimes 15,000 to 20,000 miles an hour. that's why you can see this extend for a long period of time. that's what we think this is with all the space junk out there. we know satellites routinely being put up into space and a lot of the smaller pieces hang around.
