Tumbling zig zag pattern of a shooting "star" observed in the Catskill Mountains, NY
I remember star gazing with my brothers and friend in the evening laying out on our front lawn in Jewett New York 12444. We saw what appeared to be a tumbling star traveling in a random zig zag patter. It wasn't until I came upon this site and read another observation in Troy, NY, with the exact description of what I saw.
They pinpointed the date and in retrospect, even though I was only 9 years old, this date is probably when it happened.
I suspect it may have been another Russian Satellite that was out of control and tumbling in a free fall.
