Any idea what went up in the sky about an hour ago over the Central Coast? Did it blow up?

This is after 9pm now — I first noticed something strange maybe a quarter after 8pm. I looked out a window and saw a bright red cylindrical object, reflecting the sun from high up. Took me awhile to get outdoors, and by then it was gone, leaving very twisted and by then broken contrails behind — again, for awhile they glowed with the remains of the sunlight.

I didn’t hear a sonic boom, but then the coyotes were howling so I might have missed it. Vandenberg AFB (or Space Base, whatever it is now) is about 100 miles away, and we occasionally get to hear Muskrat’s satellites and whatnot taking off.

My problem with all nighttime sky phenomena is we live tucked into a valley, plus there are a fair amount of palm trees and mature oaks about. I feel lucky I saw this much by accident. But I still want to know if anyone knows what it was and if it was an unscheduled rapid disassembly of something.

Thanks.

Report from Ventura, CA. Many thousands, 5 to 10. I got interviewed by Channel 7...

Really great rally. Started with a moment of silence for the murdered Minnesotans.
My SIL drove — and this turned out to be her very first rally, and she loved it.

Questions: how is the weather in DC? Did it rain on Dear Leader’s parade? Is everyone staying safe?

Hold that thought. I do too, but....

Surprisingly, there’s an intermittent effort here to eliminate every Dem governor from the pool of possible candidates, one by one. Just a few people, but persistent, and they keep bringing up Newsom — like, in a thread about how “Gov. Bob” isn’t ideal, Newsom’s name “spontaneously” pops up (again) as being a terrible, terrible prospect because of something a guest said on his podcast? .

Let me just say this: as a Californian, I think he’s doing a good job. He’s been through COVID with us, and major regional fires, and so on, all the while navigating enormous cultural, technological, economic, and cultural shifts, not to mention having to deal with a madman as POTUS. Right now California is being used as a test lab for a military coup by the madman. Bear all that in mind when someone brings up the podcast or his long-ago ex-wife.

Let me also say this: as a Democrat, I look forward to a robust primary. I want to hear from a solid slate of potentials, and most of all I want to win.

Thanks for listening to my earnest rant.
