Sattelite debris - I might have seen it!

I saw a cluster of long, white trailing debris in the sky this morning at 5:34 am PST.

Unlike the meteor the other day, the burn was white and not as intense. Although I have no confirmation that this was part of the bus-sized US spy satellite, it is definitely not out of the realm of possibility.

From the Associated Press:

"...the satellite and the kill vehicle collided at a combined speed of 22,000 mph about 130 miles above Earth's surface, and that the collision was confirmed at a space operations center at 10:50 p.m. EST.

(Military Officials) estimated there was an 80 percent to 90 percent chance that the missile struck the most important target on the satellite — its fuel tank, containing 1,000 pounds of hydrazine, which Pentagon officials say could have posed a health hazard to humans if it had landed in a populated area."
