Now it appears that thousands saw the streaking light over Nevada, Arizona and Southern California this past Wednesday night. While the National Weather Service and others have said it was a meteorite or asteroid others have said not so fast. Meteorites are moving so quickly that virtually all of them are seen for a brief 3-5 second. This object was seen over three states and stayed in the sky for just under one minute. This is unheard of for meteors or asteroids to behave this way!
This is reminiscent of the UFO that was seen in the sky by thousands from 10 states on April 18, 1962.
"an incident on April 18,1962, involving a UFO that had been tracked from New York, through Kansas to Eureka, Utah, was well documented. The Air Force spokesman admitted that the object had landed, and during the 42 minutes that it was on the ground near the power station there was no power, but it was restored when the UFO left. The object was pursued by jet interceptors summoned from Phoenix and Stead Field in Reno until it exploded over the Mesquite Range in Nevada in a brilliant glare that was visible over five states".
