The record

Approximately 15 minutes before the primary witness's sighting, friends of witness Matthew Selck observed something smaller, brighter, and faster than the main object at a much higher altitude. The primary witness was not looking up at the time and missed it. He later speculated it may have been related to his subsequent sighting.
