Observer
NameRobert J
Experience Level3/5
RemarksFacing north there appeared to be a reddish orange round light approximately one(1) hands widths above the tree line. This was observed through the north facing utility room window. As I walked to the utility room door 7-8ft away and stepped out the round ball exhibited a extremely large firey tail being very broad but short-- note this object was moving rather slowly through the night sky NNE in the direction of the Florida East coast. The main body appeared to be a large cylinder with butted nose( like the shape of a tin can), non sphere shape but cylindrical. The object was moving slowly unlike a meteor but as if small aircraft at cruising speed and altitude; the tail wasn't spread out but the same area as the cone shaped object. It appeared extremely large--moving slowly--dark orange/red like a burning log-- my guess is this was Space Debris re-entering the atmosphere landing off the FL coast line into the sea!?
