Explosion in the sky... what is it?

Question

Found an interesting UFO video... a UFO explodes!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CewH99F0K0

I don't have any NASA records of my own after 2000, so I can't say if there was anything that exploded that night. It's clear that this isn't a fake. What's not clear is what they're actually looking at. It's obviously reflective and the footage is taken just after twilight, though I'm not sure where.

Suggestions?

Answer 1

errrrrrrrrrr................. Weather Balloon?

Answer 2

Multi-stage separation.

Answer 3

it is nothing, either photo shopped or like the one commenter points out, a space shuttle take off.

Answer 4

HI

There is so much stuff going on in our skies it's unreal.

It could be a military spacecraft which exploded, it could be a satellite that exploded, The space crafts and stuff we see on the mililitary channel are old school they are not going to show off the current crafts.

It's not only intended to educate but pacify our need to see where our money is going.

I think a lot ( I am not saying all) of the stuff people are capturing happen to be test missiles and crafts developed by one party or another. Thinking about it -how many people really go out and study and look at the sky at night at the same time or have a video cam ready when things happen?

Less than we realize and this why there are not a gazillion accounts from people when something like what was seen in the video happens.

The days of testing bombs,missiles and aircraft within the atmosphere is old school. It's been taken to new heights -literally. If our guys can manipulate the weather with jet streams -imagine what else they can do?

I believe that sharing all the new sophisticated stuff is not only a breach of security, but I am not sure if people could mentally grasp what's going on. The newer developments go way beyond what we have been conditioned to believe, know and comprehend.

Answer 5

It was the death star exploding (original version).  Good shooting Luke!

Answer 6

It looks like debris from a missile launch that exploded before it fell back to earth.

Answer 7

Looks like a Sky Lantern to me.  Just caught on fire, and debris was falling.  

Almost certain that is what it is.

They are really neat.  Am including a link showing a skylantern festival and one site that makes them.  Enjoy.

If you want a Sky Lantern, you can get them off of ebay fairly cheaply.  

Send it off, take a video of it, and turn it into the local TV station as a UFO.  Fun Stuff.
