Geez guys that’s a simple plane, meteors and I witnessed a few are much faster and disappear in seconds, except if this guy shut it in slomo:)

Mark, meteor and shooting star are two different terms for the same thing. if you are a scientist its a meteor, but if you are at Disneyland, it’s a shooting star :-P

and obviously this is a plane not a shooting star.

2 years ago on new years.. my girlfriends slept over at my place.. and at around 6 am we were on the roof and we something exactly like what that picture shows.. we didnt know if it was a plane or the end of the world we were seriously freaking out.. it was moving soo slowly.. but in the end we assumed that it was nothing just a plane and that we had been partying too much the night before and just needed some sleep.. Surra was where we saw it too.. aliens maybe :D I have it all on video tape

Saw it today near Surra at 6 PM and it’s definitely a plane, it’s so slow compared to if it has been a meteor.

probably someone getting in a bit of practice for the next airplane-based attack on the innocent.

You could have sold me that as a meteor – and yes, I would have been pissed too, if it was one :)

This is caused by the condensation formed by aircraft jet engines when the atmosphere is heated and the vapors are released on the back to quickly condense in low temperatures. This usually happens when humidity levels are high. So was the case during eid.

That’s definitely a plane passing during sunset, a meteor will never last that much, and if it was the case that means its size is huge and wasn’t disintegrate while entering the atmospher and its impact on earth would have been devastating.

I saw meteors so many times. I also saw a meteorite once while i was out in the desert (a large meteor that survives the atmosphere and impacts the ground with a big flash of light)

Both meteors and meteorites flash in the sky so quick within a matter of seconds. There’s no way this thing you saw was one. Could be a plane, or…
