We thought there was a plane going down in flames. Out our back window, we saw this streak of fire burning up in the atmosphere. It was pretty big. We were told it was the twilight glinting off the bottom of a plane, but I thought, "No, that ain't no reflection." (I know, really good grammar for an English teacher, but I grew up in the Midwest.) It was exactly what this article said, "an orange-red fireball streaking across the sky." I thought that maybe it was a satellite breaking up in the atmosphere. It was on a very level plane with the horizon.
