UFO Filmed . . . No Wait . . . it's a Slow-moving Fireball

Quote:
Six cameras from Western’s Southern Ontario Meteor Network recorded a slow-moving fireball, estimated to be no bigger than a basketball, at 6:04 p.m. It first entered the atmosphere at a shallow angle of 25 degrees at 14 kilometres per second.
Six cameras so they know how high it was.

If it was a basketball-size UFO, it appears to have burned up.

The shallow angle meteorites are always interesting. Retrograde ones more so.

That's nothing for the Pleiadeians if they ever hope to get home to the Pleiades.
