Took this shot at 11:30 last night. I saw the clouds and knew it would be an interesting shot. What I didn't see till on the computer this morning was the fire/engine flame with vapor trail in the upper right corner. I would think this is a plane but could it be space junk burning up?

Interesting. Needs to be downloaded to see. There are two trails spreading out from a single point rather than parallel like a plane. The pink source looks too short to be a commercial plane. UFO?

If it was a plane I don't think you would see a red flame. I think it is space junk coming back to earth and burning up going through the atmosphere or a UFO.

Think you got the pilot coming down by parachute as well - he's just above the roof line by the right hand branch!

That is most curious. Did you see anything in the local news about it?

How far are you from Marfa?

Nothing on the news. I am 72 miles SW of Dallas. My guess this is about 30 miles south of Dallas. I live about 35 miles south of the Lockheed plant that build the new F 35. A large runway is at the plant. Something might have taken off there and this is what I am seeing. Afterburners are used all the time I just didn't think I would be able to see the flames this far away.
