|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The object had a head and tapering tail that appeared approximately 1.5 inches long at arm's length. The head diameter was about twice the width of the tail where they met. As I watched, it fragmented into two smaller pieces. The daughter had the larger tail and was about half the size if the remaining parent. The parent had only a slight tail immediately after the fragmentation. Then the objects were lost from view behind trees, |
