Thanks for your encouraging reply. My goal is to get NTSB to consider a
meteor. Approx 200 people saw something.
Regarding your comment about a meteor glowing 3 miles up. How has meteor
watchers gauged height before. Do they run and get transit. The aircraft in
this instance was around 13,000 ft. The witnesses saw a streak of light at
that altitude. What was the light they saw ??
Regarding discounting the missile. I guess the FBI came to that conclusion.
I didn't mean that a meteor trail would curve. I was thinking that people may
have seen this light curving if they were off to the side. Just my guess.
