Dude…
Was that you?
Anyway…
I went back to the original video and watched it closely, on full screen HQ at Youtube. You should go watch it again, because you can see the light strobe just about every 2 seconds.
Even from the video poster:
Two friends are out filming and encounter a large, apparently strobing ball of light.
That is an aircraft, which is far enough away that the strobes, and other lights are being drowned out by the landing lights. I am not saying that it is an MD-80 in particular, I was simply using that as an example since I already had photos of several from another old thread.
As to the other object in the photo…
You know the thing about speed on film, right? It’s relative to the distance from the camera, and the size of the object. Several of the folks on Youtube seem to think it’s a shooting star, which is a possibility. It would be helpful if we could tell if it went in front or behind the phone pole, but I tried and cannot tell even on the HQ version. I have a real issue with believing that its something shot at the light though, because in peacetime we just do not keep AA systems deployed around the country ready to shoot at stuff.
