Looking south around 9pm Thursday, a very long debris field. Glowing white and red and moving quite fast from west to east. Freaked me out. Satellite re-entry? Airplane? Meteorite?

Saw it, must have been large space junk. Maybe a meteor I’m not expert but I’ve never seen anything remotely like it. Maybe a dozen pieces and lasted a long time

The Falcon 9 second stage from the Mar 4 Starlink launch failed to make a deorbit burn and is now reentering after 22 days in orbit. Its reentry was observed from the Seattle area at about 0400 UTC Mar 26. pic.twitter.com/FQrBrUoBHh
