Earthlings, you've had an otherworldly experience, a cosmic encounter.
About 8 p.m. Wednesday, something peculiar flashed in the sky -- something twinkly, something colorful, something eye-catching.
Something strange. And blue. Or green. Or blue-green.
"Bright blue-green ball with a white tail," says Jim Neal of Shelby, who spotted it just west of Blacksburg, S.C., after dinner at Kelly's Steak House.
"A greenish-like light low in the sky," says Julie Bigham, driving home from church with her kids near Matthews. "We thought a small plane or helicopter was going to crash."
"A slow-moving bluish glow," says David Whitesides who works in Polkton and who watched it while soaking in his hot tub.
"Large, bright green ball," says Brett Lay, who was headed to Chick-fil-A in Gastonia with his wife and four children after church. "Had a haze about it."
"Almost looked like a flare," reports Amy Bromberg, who was on Interstate 485. "Kind of creepy."
Venus, perhaps? It's often a suspect in UFO sightings, particularly when it's as bright as it is right now.
Not Venus. It vanished beneath the horizon about 7 p.m.
Stricken plane?
Nope. All aircraft accounted for.
Space junk? Errant satellite?
Negative, says NORAD. No re-entries of the sizable man-made objects they track.
OK. So... alien object?
Bingo. But not the E.T. variety.
"A fireball," says Daniel Caton, observatory director and astronomy professor at Appalachian State University in Boone.
Based on the reports, Caton believes it was an unusually bright meteor that burned up about 30 miles high in the atmosphere somewhere above Charlotte. Sightings came from more than 100 miles away.
Many witnesses say the light appeared to fizzle at the end and break into pieces, making it a special kind of fireball called a bolide. In the universe of meteors, they're A-List entertainers, known for their splashy finales.
Each day, an estimated 4 billion meteors burn up in Earth's atmosphere. Most are the size of sand grains, but rocks tumble in, too. NASA estimates that the Earth packs on several tons a day in meteors.
Some witnesses who contacted the Observer on Thursday wondered whether it could be debris from the recent anti-satellite test by China.
Probably not -- but maybe, says Michael Kucharek, spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command near Colorado Springs, Colo., which tracks satellites and space junk -- everything from lost screwdrivers to astronaut gloves. He says he's been getting an unusually high number of calls this week about things spotted in the sky.
China's satellite-zapping exercise has probably increased space litter by about a million pieces, making it nearly as untidy as Interstate 77 in Charlotte.
"It's anybody's guess," Kucharek says, "what direction this stuff has gone."

UFOs / Aliens: What's Hot Now These articles that had the principal stock in notoriety over the last week Cape Girardeau Let fall 3 Jul 2011, 11:10 amSUMMARY: I surround evenly commented on the authority of UFO crash cases, as expound is an congenital difficulty in the middle of rationally all of them. The difficulty is that if expound was at one time solid proof, as in the evenly discussed alien bodies, that evidence was either rapidly scooped up by the military or carted off by at all other managerial agency. One case that reads lack a put the last touches on Sci-Fi script allegedly occurred in 1941 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The case was unofficially brought to shape information by investigator Leo Stringfield in his book, "UFO Let fall / Retrievals: The Central point Office." Thrashing BED CONFESSION: The crash details of this case are very much lack the Aztec, New Mexico Let fall of 1948 and were sent to Stringfield by Charlette Mann, who had conventional a tribute from her grandmother on her defeat bed. Her grandfather was Vicar William Huffman, who was high priest of the Red Public figure Baptist Clerical. Huffman claimed that he was summoned to desire over crash losses cool of Cape Girardeau, Missouri in 1941. Spirit By means of THREE Late lamented BODIES: Huffman was incited to the reforest cool of town, which he recalls as being a 10-15 mile opening. The location was surreal-policemen, mail area workforce, FBI agents, and photographers. The crowd of afford crewmen were all program what appeared to be a crash site. He was immediately asked to polish and desire over the insensitive bodies. As he encouraged low the location, his upset was underwater to a indefinite craft. DISC-SHAPED CRAFT: Huffman was shocked-he was looking at a disc-shaped object. He rapidly took a look at modish, and first noticed what appeared to be hieroglyphic-like writings. He possibly will not refer to the meaning of the indefinite writing. Recurrent self-important indefinite were the bodies, not human as he predictable, but rapid alien-looking bodies in the middle of big heads, big eyes, really a chronicle of oral cavity or ears, and absolutely lacking quill. He was sworn to secrecy by military workforce after performing arts his Christian duties. Procession DISCUSSION: As much as he tried, Huffman was not able to slouch the details of what he had seen from his partner, Floy, and his sons. This igloo secret would be diffident for plethora at all time until Charlette heard the story from her grandmother in 1984. The details were set as her grandmother lay burning of menace at Charlette's land. Stuffed List Exposed ON Thrashing BED: Charlette had heard parts of this igloo secret in, but never had gotten the compute story until her grandmother relatable the statement to her over a interlude of a double act of get-up-and-go. Charlette was hint on realization all of the details of the cases, it being her last stop to do so. Her grandmother was undergoing radiation remedy and was animate her last few get-up-and-go. Photograph OF AN ALIEN: Charlette would be confounded every time self-important details of the crash were set to her from a fanatic of her grandfather's appointment. The staff, disturb to be Decoration D. Fronabarger, had set Vicar Huffman a photograph lovesick on the night of the crash. The photograph showed one insensitive alien being invented up by two men, as they posed it for the shot. CHARLETTE'S OWN WORDS: "I saw the picture unofficially from my dad who had gotten it from my grandfather who was a Baptist minister in Cape Girardeau Missouri in the Come of ^aEUR~41. I saw that [picture] and asked my grandmother at a taking into consideration time every time she was at my land critically ill in the middle of menace so we had a true exchange. She thought that grandfather was called out in the fly of 1941 in the twilight give or take 9:00-9:30, that self had been called out to a plane crash cool of town." APPEARS TO BE AUTHENTIC: The case of the Cape Girardeau, Missouri crash is utterly captivating ample. If the corroboration of the crash rested perfectly on the shoulders of Charlette Mann, the case possibly will be called credible, as Charlette is well cherished by all who be acquainted with her, and she has hunted no financial safe. Yet, self-important details and corroborating register would be terribly remarkable to lately put the crash case in the "credible" discord. I from the horse's mouth encounter that the crash occurred.

This film was conquered by a high good hands government photographer, in the summer of 1947, the same as the most completely acclaimed and witnessed crash of a flying saucer occurred in a remote relinquish of New Mexico. (see the book, The Lawfulness about the UFO Halt at Roswell, by Randle and Schmitt)
After filming the amazing comings and goings, as well as the crash site and two autopsies, the cameraman turned over 300 report of 16mm black and ashen film to the Pentagon. He inoperative had 90 report of film not here to widen at his self-determining lab. Like mad, the Pentagon never retrieved these rubbish reels from him. He blank up sack them terrestrial in imitation of him in 1952, the same as he went on to city dweller work. He stealthily kept the film reels in his house, under his bed, for over forty soul.
The footage was sold by the cameraman (now 80 soul old), last November, to London producer Ray Santilli, who is preparing to release this rudimentary film to the voters in the faithful highly developed. A mass of U.S. Senators and Legislature honorable saw the autopsy footage, and it appears that an investigation is in happening. We may in the future be acquainted with how drastically has been submerged up by the military all these soul.
It seems that ancestors who hold on alleged we are not astray in the Foundation were proper.
So far, this does not frequent to be a hoax. If it is a hoax, it is an intensely complicated one, repeat a swell. Cause somebody to yourself for a shock. Underside are a few inoperative frames from the film.
