Remarks |
There was no train. Evidence of a cloud that was a distortion just above the flames of the projectile. This cloud or smoke plume had dispersed shortly after the event. The plume may not have been associated with the event, at best the plume took on a dendritic appearance not unlike the smoke from a camp fire. The projectile was 100% flames fire that had separated into 3 pieces all on fire falling straight down. I thought perhaps it was a plane falling while engulfed by flames. The brightness was not that of the white hot meteorite that are common to seasoned observers. The object fell straight down and if not straight it was small angle right to left. An aeroplane was flying from right to left along the horizon at the time of this event. The plane a dot in the sky, gave me some scale as to the falling flames which were without exaggeration 100 times that of the plane. The speed of the falling flames seem to be much slower than any meteorites of norm. I was looking East at 70° and less than 10° above the horizon. The plane was at 55°-60° East at 12° to the horizon traveling north or from right to left approximately 10° to 15° towards the North from the projectile. I was waiting for a sonic boom to help determine the distance from my location to that of the firey object. I was sure to find this projectile as I tried to find its location which would surely set fire on land or disappear in our lake or rivers.
