Just now there was some sort of a weird glowing plume in the southwest sky. Could be some sort of a rocket launch from Vandenberg or something else. Who knows? This was visible in Chico, CA at 5:35 p.m. PST
UPDATE: Dash Cam video demonstrates it clearly was a meteor.
It’s just another alien visitation – many more recently as they are worried about what we are doing to our planet.
Doubt they’d be worried about what we do to our planet, more likely what we do to ourselves.
One tell-tale sign it’s a meteor: there’s a razor thin line that protrudes forward from the fireball for a split second. This is the central remnant from the air burst. It’s typically very short-lived and very thin because it’s only a small remnant. And when it ‘switches off’ it means that remnant has gone into ‘dark flight’ i.e. at a lower speed which doesn’t induce glowing.
I was going to go for a Unicorn fart which those in the know will be the supper dooper power supply of the future.

The Dashcam clearly shows that it was a meteor…. A nice bright one.
Thursday evening’s re-scheduled launch for the Delta IV Heavy carrying the NROL-71 mission is scheduled for 5:31 p.m. PST.
By the way, I hope you, your employees, their families and others affected by the fires are managing to piece their lives back together. Wishing you all as Merry a Christmas as is possible in the circumstances.
Test flight by Santa. All elves safe and accounted for 🙂
