Nice! I was hoping some satellite would catch it or at least the infrared afterglow.

2008 TC3 just 1 hour before reentry, while entering Earth shadow:

Full inline quote removed - Admin
according to an italian forum, MAYBE a page appeared on NASA site predicting a 1:79 chance to hit Earth (or enter atmosphere??), but page would be no more visible... But actually I think somebody thaught that "REMOVED" from risk list means "HIDDEN", although it means "NO MORE RISKFUL"... |

Nor do I - that's just your average meteor streak.

on the NIGHT OF entry I was looking at random youtube videos of meteorites and this was on there as another video name then. So, def fake.

I haven't seen their ideas on whether the Meteosat images captured the streaking bolide or the fading fireball after disintegration. The fact IR and visible channel hotspot locations don't match, it's plausible the IR frame was captured a couple of seconds earlier with the "RGB" channels capturing the static fireball.
Thoughts? -------------------- |

Looks like our doubts on the 2008 TC3 video were correct:
