Not really. As for the diamond, the lower half would naturally tend to appear darker. But when it comes to the aircraft, I don't think it's quite that simple. In almost all of my photographs, both wings appeared considerably brighter than the...

After spending time with Claude discussing this, we agreed that the object seen in all these videos was CZ-2C R/B(2). While I knew the final orbits of a re-entering satellite would "mess up" the TLE, I didn't know how badly the SGP4 model breaks...
I polished this one a bit with the new Star tracker feature

My best estimate was that the Peekskill meteor and its associated trailing pieces spanned about 30° of arc, and took about 8 seconds to traverse that space ...but that was admittedly a long time ago, so estimates are probably worthless. I'm in...
Meteors are typically significantly faster than things coming from low earth orbit, in particular as the latter burn up after a period of retardation, so will be slower than usual LEO objects (7.8km/s). Meteors can be between 2 and 10 times...
Fascinating video -- the slow speed and fracturing into a bunch of bits make me wonder of that was a meteor at all, or if it was another space debris incident. Not that it CAN'T be a meteor, but if'n I was guessing I'd have gone with something...
That looks much like the Peekskill meteor in 1992, which was filmed by many people over several states because it came at the time all the high school football games were starting. I had a good look at it, and the notable feature to me was that...

Same as previously idenftified by @jarlrmai in post #15: 40.53804471832298, -109.8258638179959 but this time looking west. (not an exact match, but close enough)
Also matches with the scene of the moon setting towrads the...
16x speed matches with the movement of the magical orbs and the starlink satellites.

Yeah, I mean, the thing is that it's always more difficult to recreate a photo than to create the original. When recreating it, you have to find something that looks like the strange diamond, a suitable jet, a suitable location, etc. The original...
