I saw this too, from about a mile up in HPP. Not a comet, not United Air. Looked to me like a meteor flaming out on entry. Super impressive and beautiful, really well lit up.
Yea, Tomk, probably like... thimble sized... Gorgeous though.
In '97 or '98 I was living in Seattle, and my partner at the time and I saw a Russian rocket booster (we found out later) re-enter the atmosphere and break apart, and head straight over the city - west to east. I swear, from west Seattle, it looked like it was going to take out downtown. Turns out it landed in Michigan or somewhere over there. Crazy.
Duck. And. Cover. That's what we were thinking at the time.
