My mum filmed this in a very rural area with little light pollution, so the night sky is usually clear. You can see the object moving erratically across the sky and that it has a visible green light (particularly towards the end of the clip). It doesn’t behave like a normal plane or helicopter from what she could tell, nor is it an insect. Original unedited video attached. Curious to hear people’s thoughts on what this could be.

Just came across this livestream of the aurora over lake superior, then this luminescent object comes across the screen. I thought it was spaceX but I could not find any evidence that a launch took place today. What are some possible explanations? It moves across the sky like an arrow.

This is the link to the stream. the phenomenon appears about 3 hours into the livestream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8cZ5KFylnI

Edit: Some people in the livestream believe it was a chinese rocket launch which occurred at 11PM ET: Zhuque-2E LandSpace

Looks like I answered my own question. Leaving this here in case others who saw it come here and want to know. Cheers

It started accelerating like the brightest part then split into two and poof gone and it came out suddenly out of no where this was taken at the Philippines

1.) something hets launched!
2.)the trajectory it went !
3.)the smoke it left after it disappeared!

I don’t think its any Rocket because i live far !
