Hi everyone—new day, new video. This footage was captured via screen recording during a live YouTube broadcast while Mount Etna in Sicily was erupting. Please excuse the quality; it’s due to a combination of factors (the live stream itself, heavy video compression by YouTube, and the fact that it was a screen recording). I realize the video isn't perfect, but I still find it really interesting. What do you think? (Can I share my YouTube channel here? You’ll find all my videos there; many of them are larger than 1 GB, so I can't upload them directly here.)

My parents were out there talking when my mom saw the sky get extremely bright, early morning type of bright for context. They got up to go see and my father said he a big mass of fire in the sky with wings opening and closing with a tail. Did some research there was nothing on the web saying that we could come across meteor today. In the video you can see the flame widen and then get tighter (like a wing movement) I thought multiple things, rocket launch gone bad, a fucking ufo and now I don’t know what to think. Give me your thoughts please. I’m going to try and add the other video in the chat box. I’m not well educated on anything space related.

I was filming satellites and shooting stars as the sun rose through my new digital NVG and saw this weird thing come into view from the top left heading down then turning left until I lost sight of it. I couldn’t see anything with my naked eye.
