Details:
June 22 2015 - Unknown Near Earth Object - This object was moving from South to North over Eastern Kansas to possibly Western Missouri depending on the actual distance. It appeared to have a core but it had a wide fuzzy light like a comet or asteroid that was out gassing. I put on an old manual 135MM Lens and shot it at 12,800 ISO for .94 seconds so there is a bit of forward motion. Speed would be similar to a medium velocity satellite. It was spinning as it has a spiral visible. You can also see a faint outer ring as well. This went over at about 10:45 CST. This was actually quite large compared to how it may be perceived in the photo.
Did we have a satellite go boom or a rocket or??
