I saw the meteor that came down over Chicago last year. It lit up the night sky like a prolonged lightning flash.

I did not see that but I was pinging radio waves of the ionization trail. One of the coolest ham radio things I like to do is meteor scatter communication where we bounce signals off the meteors as they enter the atmosphere. There are bunches every single day.

Time to start installing T-CAS on all satellites!

Followup: They think it was a meteor because space junk can't last that long in the atmosphere.
