Remnants of a Failed Russian Satellite Burn Across the Night Sky

Info from Licensor: "My husband and I were having a bonfire fire around midnight. I was in the middle of telling a story to my husband when something bright caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. We live pretty close to an airport so I thought nothing of it at first. Then I looked over and saw what I thought was a bright meteor with a long tail. I was in awe as an avid meteor shower watcher I had never seen such a long-lasting meteor. My husband finally asked if I was recording it? I fumbled for my phone and began recording the last half of what we saw. At 12:43 Is when I began recording what I thought was a meteor since the Orionids were peaking this week."
