Explosion in the sky... what is it?

Found an interesting UFO video... a UFO explodes!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CewH99F0K0

I don't have any NASA records of my own after 2000, so I can't say if there was anything that exploded that night. It's clear that this isn't a fake. What's not clear is what they're actually looking at. It's obviously reflective and the footage is taken just after twilight, though I'm not sure where.

Suggestions?

Update:

If it was faked, tell me what was done.

Update 2:

Very funny, Adametri... no, it's not a weather balloon, since those don't have debris trails from them.

Update 3:

madcat, I'd like to see this kind of fire and debris for this long... the notes on the side say it was 5 minutes, but even at one minute, it should have plunged from the sky.

Loved the Cocteau Twins music on that first clip, by the way.

Update 4:

Also, my fiancee has built sky lanterns, and she says they don't burn like that when they catch fire.

    HI

    There is so much stuff going on in our skies it's unreal.

    It could be a military spacecraft which exploded, it could be a satellite that exploded, The space crafts and stuff we see on the mililitary channel are old school they are not going to show off the current crafts.

    It's not only intended to educate but pacify our need to see where our money is going.

    I think a lot ( I am not saying all) of the stuff people are capturing happen to be test missiles and crafts developed by one party or another. Thinking about it -how many people really go out and study and look at the sky at night at the same time or have a video cam ready when things happen?

    Less than we realize and this why there are not a gazillion accounts from people when something like what was seen in the video happens.

    The days of testing bombs,missiles and aircraft within the atmosphere is old school. It's been taken to new heights -literally. If our guys can manipulate the weather with jet streams -imagine what else they can do?

    I believe that sharing all the new sophisticated stuff is not only a breach of security, but I am not sure if people could mentally grasp what's going on. The newer developments go way beyond what we have been conditioned to believe, know and comprehend.

    Looks like a Sky Lantern to me. Just caught on fire, and debris was falling.

    Almost certain that is what it is.

    They are really neat. Am including a link showing a skylantern festival and one site that makes them. Enjoy.

    If you want a Sky Lantern, you can get them off of ebay fairly cheaply.

    Send it off, take a video of it, and turn it into the local TV station as a UFO. Fun Stuff.

    the massive Bang wasn't an explosion. And no, it particularly is not greater logical that it created God first and then monkeys. and truly, it did no longer create monkeys in any respect. Monkeys weren't made out of the preliminary massive Bang.

    It looks like debris from a missile launch that exploded before it fell back to earth.

    To me it looked like some sort of firework, but I doubt that was what it was. Thanks For the vid! I will do more investiagtion on this and try to find a logical explantion, but I must say that video was cool none the less!
