If I saw that I would have hid in my basement and promptly fashioned a tinfoil hat. But after seeing the explanation and the simulation of how this could have happened makes perfect sense. The conspiracy theorists that are call this a time portal, or a UFO, or a black hole do not have the ability to think 3 dimensionally and understand that depending on the trajectory, ground placement, point of view etc... the view of this thing could have been drastically different. It was just a freak accident that created a neat lightshow, with a bunch of flukey conditions, that happened to look like something some from a sci-fi movie, nothing else. And to the people that said this was a black hole....not one of us would be sitting here if a black hole even the size of a baseball collided with our atmosphere.
