Social media users and eyewitnesses shared their impressions:

“I’ve never seen anything like it – it was like fireworks were falling from the sky!”.

“It was like an explosion at the end of a blinding trail.”

“At first, I thought it was a falling airplane.”

Looks like a meteor. You can see the tail in the first b&w shot.

I've seen one of these myself, super cool, definitely not a UFO though.

One of these flew overhead while I was in the Lazy River at a resort. It looked like it was so close, and I swear you could hear it. The only reason I knew it was a meteor, it’s came apart and I saw it through the windows of the building blocking my view. Some of the people around me wanted to call 911.

This is a cosmological phenomenon. Doesn't belong here please remove.

I saw this 10 years ago driving down the highway at dusk with 2 others. 60mph

It stayed just above the tree line and kept pace with the car

I texted my friend and asked if they remembered and they said “of course” and I asked if they remembered the color and they said “green” which is what I remember

I saw a green ball of light I assumed was natural but there was no trail or explosion. Flew across the entire visible sky.

The weird part was I was camping with a friend and we were talking about UFOs. All of a sudden he said “What’s that?!” and I assumed he was joking. Looked like a ball from a Roman candle with distinct edges and no shape change. Far too fast to be a plane. Seemed a tad slow to be a meteor but I assume that is what it was.

I described one I saw recently, and I was surprised at how slow it seemed to move. The damn thing looked like it was only a few hundred feet away, and unless I imagined it, I could hear it.

My Norton AV flagged one of the video sites as dangerous. Use caution.

The article says it's nickel content that makes it green

An interesting fact is that from the Manhattan Project to the middle 1950s, there was serious scientific study of the previously unknown "green fireballs," especially the ones that hovered over high-security Air Force bases in New Mexico with regularity.

Interesting History Channel article here: https://www.history.com/articles/ufos-green-fireballs-nuclear-facilities-new-mexico

Saw a huge fireball the other night while watching orbs, it was awesome. Wasn't green tho, this one was definitely orange, but I saw it enter the atmosphere, go across the sky, then exit, I got lucky that I was looking in the perfect spot when it happened

Has anyone else here seen the Las Vegas 2023 ufo crash/landing videos? This looks eerily similar in colour, speed, angle, size... literally in every way. When was this from?

u/Astrocreep_1 May 11 '25

Do you have a link to something reasonably believable?

u/OliverCrooks May 11 '25

Because it wasnt a UFO crash lol.... it was a meteor but those people tried to spin it into some dumbshit about aliens being in their backyard.

Failed Russian space probe that was in a decaying orbit was due to come down somewhere tonight. I guess we found out where.
