AnomalyOn March 12, 1982 at around 8:30 PM, a witness observed in the sky a very bright ball about 80 cm in diameter. Silver in color, it was followed by a light-orange trail. During the entire observation, the object did not change color or direction. This person probably witnessed an atmospheric reentry.
