Strange Streak Across Missouri Sky Wasn’t a Comet or UFO

If you saw a strange large streak across the sky over Missouri late Wednesday night, you weren't imagining it. However, you also weren't witnessing a UFO, meteor or comet tail either as there's an explanation for what happened.

Great catch by one of my favorite YouTube channels, Missouri Skies. Dan Bush captured video near Albany, Missouri which showed what appeared to be a large streak resembling a comet's tail just after 11pm Wednesday night.

As you can see, Dan's explanation is spot on correct. It was nothing more than a satellite fuel dump. There's no confirmation if this was a SpaceX satellite or something else entirely. This happens more often than you think. An orbiting satellite will dump fuel approximately once per week and I've heard it's even more frequent for Starlink satellites.

The good news is you weren't having a hallucination if you saw the streak over Missouri Wednesday night. It was just creations of man dumping their gas over our heads. Nothing more to see here.
