Wexford, PA

I was out with my 13 inch dobsonian. It wasn't quite dark and I was looking for a star to adjust my scope on. I swung my scope to what I thought was a star but there were several objects. Most were pin points of light but one was cigar shapped. Well believe it or not I just heard and saw a report that the chinese ship fell to earth tonight and was seen. So thats what I think I saw. On the picture I submitted the booster is visible. The still doesn't do it justice. All the objects were moving but the cigar shapped object was spinning.

Wexford, PA

2 adults and 1 child saw dark orange/reddish round "fireball" traveling across sky, moving from South to North above McKnight Rd. at approximately 11:30 pm. No sound heard. Did not flash or anything like that. It maintained a steady speed and even/equal brightness for around 2 minutes, then light dimmed (briefly) and then returned to original level of brightness, disappeared quickly traveling North. Seemed to have smokey ring around it. I haven't seen anything like it before. Very interesting. Tried to record a video clip but object wouldn't show up on video; however a still image was taken; and is somewhat visible. Would love to know what we saw! Comet? Meteor? UFO?
