Was this fiery UFO simply a meteorite? Not so fast

If you live in Arizona, California, and Nevada chances are you had a chance to take part in one of the most widespread UFO sightings in years. NASA scientists say this multi-colored object was most likely an astroid that broke off into a meteorite.

Sounds fair. But not so fast. 

Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center, is skeptical that the UFO was a meteor because it was visible for so long.

“It’s definitely too early to say that it’s a meteor,” he told 8News. “One would not expect a person to be witness to a meteor for 45 or 50 seconds.”

Sure enough. If you look at this video you can clearly see a fiery object hovering and moving in patterns inconsistent with a meteorite.
