Details:
We just had another satellite fuel dump event here in the Midwest. This one was quite something and was much larger than previous dumps. It was Polar orbit going to the North.
It began around 4:16UT and lasted for about 10 minutes. It emerged from the Earth's shadow near my Zenith. They are always different shapes to these it seems.I posted a timelapse video of the movement on YouTube. I'm not sure of the source for this one. Time-lapse video can be found in the YouTube link. https://youtu.be/EI5GYi6FnBE
