First off, does anyone have any more info on where and when it was filmed? (links to the original footage much appreciated
Second, it could be a meteor, but, the amount of 'debris' streaming from it seems inconsistent with that idea and the gasses issuing from it should have been consistant or at least present throughout its flight and destruction.
Third, it appears to follow the trajectory of a falling object at high speed, however, if you look at the 'smoke' trail, right before it impacts the ground, it shows a distinct 'upcurve'. If it were a free-falling body there would be no change in the trail - not even 'ground effects' would account for its change in orientation.
Fourth, when it does 'bounce', it keeps its flight 'orientation' intact. Even a little 'wobble' or adjustment can be seen in the flight arc during its flight to maintain orientation before the second impact.
Fifth, the initial impact throws up a huge amount of earth before the object makes its merry way onwards.
Actually, I would like to hear a rational explanation for this objects extremely strange behaviour first, before people wander down alternative avenues. Could be a rocket/missile?
I leave it to you.
Let me know what you think.
