Do we have or anyone knows about any report of this earthgrazer?
Because this looks like an airplane track. But I found at one place which gives kind of cross check for this earthgrazer. A message on yahoo groups.

Tilvi,
Yes, for this one we received email from people who saw it. IF I recall correctly, one person reported that it took about 6 to 8 seconds to cross the sky. Also the US military picked it up somehow and contacted us about our data. There are therefore several indications that this is a real meteor.
