REGARDING:
“has been reported as bigger than Jupiter ”

Whereas Jupiter contains “two and a half times the mass of all the other planets in our Solar System combined”

If its bigger than that, it’s truly impressive.

David expecting earth to thrown into interstellar space if so

Comet Elenin which has been reported as bigger than Jupiter was due to be aligned perfectly between our sun and Earth yesterday. It will be passing in front of us is what I have heard for the next week or so. Info is available if you google and on youtube. There was much misinformation and hype in the online communities about it and no media attention at all.

This object, yellow/red. Travelled from the east south east in to the western sky behind some low cumulus clouds. The time was approximily after 7pm. We were on a high floor balcony of Santa Rosa Dunes, Pensacola Beach. My impression is that it is a large meteor.

My husband and I were on the I-10 Bay bridge and saw the large ,very fast burning object. We thought it was a plane but no smoke or sound. It was so much brighter than a shooting star. It moved from the south to appear like it fell around 9 mile road. Quite amazing!

I saw it last night, I pointed at it and made a wish. Very amazing sight to see especially at 17 years old.

Since it was at 7:20 I guess it wasn’t the Iridium flare in the southeast around 7:45, it was magnitude -1, brighter than all the stars other than Sirius the dog star. There will be another Iridium flare tonight in the south southeast at 7:39, it will be magnitude -4, about as bright as Venus the evening and morning star at it’s brightest, altitude 52 degrees, azimuth 150 degrees from my location in Century. The bright meteors, or shooting stars that you see on average, are normally about the size of a pea.

REGARDING:
“reported seeing a large, perhaps green object streaking ”

It wasn’t me this time.

David wishing I’d seen it too
