The American Meteor Society has recorded 85 accounts of this spectacle between the cities of Sacramento and San Diego. According to some experts, this trail could be a piece of the orbital module of the Chinese spacecraft Shenzhou 15.
Meteorites form luminous trails that burn quickly in the atmosphere. This type of event is common and poses no risk to populations, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. However, it offers an impressive spectacle, especially when it occurs in the middle of the night.
