(meteorobs) Low Slow Meteor?
Asking for sightings close to midnight for low and slow orange
meteor north of Oceanside. Chance it was a military flare but it
traveled about 3 degrees toward me and gained apparent altitude and
lengthened from a +2 orange dot about 1 arcminute wide to about 5
arcminutes long while dropping some sparks, it also seemed to be two
main parts. No binculars! Going after my dog and ignored my premonition
to grab the binoculars. Thought it may be a flare until it lenghtened
and divided into two horizontal parts. It was seen at about 20 degrees
and moved up to about 25 degrees high. The object was visible for a
considerable time as it moved SSE from NE of Oceanside. Near point long
period meteor?
