Weird Light over Virginia

[Dekster]

So was carrying out garbage to cans a few minutes ago and saw this weird flash of light that I thought was lightning maybe. Looked up and saw what appeared to be an orange and blue fireball at a very high altitude and then it was gone. No sound whatsoever. Anybody know if they are testing missiles or something?

Was 11:30 something ish heading generally north and was east from south center of state so sounds like we saw the same thing. Must have been a meteor.

You saw a grazing bolide, that's all.

I see em all the time, it's usually just a meteor. Sometimes they're so low that I want to go looking to see where it landed. I've seen a lot of different colored ones, but the standard orange fireball has always looked the coolest.

Perhaps it's governor Northrup coming down in his heavenly chariot of the Gods?

Extra big meteor that lights up the sky, usually blows up in the atmosphere and often exhibits smoke and colors.
