| Remarks | At first I thought it was a plane on fire. I live near the Melbourne, FL airport so, that was a possibility. However, it became clear to me it was not a plane because nothing was falling to the earth. It was flying from southeast behind trees. I was observing the beginning of the lunar eclipse on my patio. I ran from the patio to the front door and watched it flying out of range on the same trajectory to northeast. It was the most amazing thing to see and would like to know if it was space junk, meteor, etc. I have not seen anything online about this. Someone else had to have seen it. |
