Reports Report 1418a (Event 1418-2011)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Russil T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The object was coming down at a steep angle. There were no planes or anything else in the sky at the time. Space junk? Oddly, there was no tail at all. I at first thought it was a plane but it was moving too fast for that and the color made no sense. The lilac color shone brightly, and might have been caused by potassium chloride. It must have dropped into the Gulf of Mexico. |
