The streaking ball of fire Friday night above the East Coast did not, for now at least, signal the end to civilization as we know it.
Though you might get that sense from social media.
The sky lit up along the U.S. eastern seaboard with reports of "a thin streak of blue-greenish-white" from people like Chip Guy, who was driving in eastern Maryland when he and his family he spotted it.
"It didn't last more than eight or nine seconds, then it disappeared," said Guy, a spokesman for Sussex County, Delaware. "Frankly, I didn't think too much of it."

Looks like a Romulan vessel to me
Who cares. Not even interesting. Just another black ops craft that had stability issues
AGREED.
Definitly a man made craft.
This worries me. Too many are passing to close to us.
Definitly a space craft. I've been researching different types of alien craft since the mid 1960's. it appears to be a Nebula Class cruiser from the Rigel System. Interesting.
It looks more like a UFO to me.
