I saw this video today from 10 years ago. It’s on the official KOCO 5 News youtube channel…so credible. https://youtu.be/AK6dqLMLCtQ?si=2H-jJXC7NBQ78GQL
Fortunately, the object travels BELOW the horizon, so I’m able to estimate a distance. I used Google Earth and Google Maps to run an approximate distance (vs time) to calculate an approximate speed. Conservatively, I came up with a speed of 639 MPH, but its likely faster than that. This rules out drones; and size appears to rule out jets. Horizontal trajectory and speed is too slow for meteor.
Harder to estimate, but it appears to also slow down a bit, but that is not something we can’t calculate using a single camera vantage point.
One other interesting note, if it maintained a straight path, it would end up at the Wes Watkins Lake, only about a mile or so further.
