not so, there is an observable metering.....looks slow and the trail edges are too definite and we have a color discrepancy the size of New York City....with no dissipation at the end

That meteor seems to be going awful slow, to me. It looks more like a glowing ball with full-on afterburners.
There's no possible way for anyone to hazard a guess as to how fast a meteor is traveling by just viewing it with their eyeballs. And as such, no one can claim that a meteor is moving too fast or too slow.
There are far too many variables on what causes a meteor to move quickly or slowly through the atmosphere. For instance:
- It's speed before it enters the atmosphere.
- How far into the atmosphere it enters.
- It's angle of entry into the atmosphere.
- It's size/mass.
Claiming a meteor is moving too slow or too fast and therefore must be something other than a meteor, doesn't get any more ignorant than that.

WTF, snowflake? That was my opinion, not a declaration. Do you understand the concept of the word "seems?"
Who the hell said anything about a UFO?

Well pardon me, I wasn't aware that an all-knowing genius was present.
You see, I would guess (without the use of a high functioning brain such as yours, of course) that an object going at least 25000 miles per hour when it entered the atmosphere, wouldn't slow down to 500 mph before it stopped taking a leisurely cruise around the Earth. Never mind it having a high velocity, explosive plume shooting out the back when it gets here.
BTW, claiming and speculating are two different things. You can keep your ignorant comments to yourself, cupcake.

It's a meteor. Posted as least as early as 2015. It has nothing to do with the earthquake.
