AnomalyOn March 1, 1996, at around 7:30 PM, 4 witnesses observed the movement of a very bright point in the sky with a white trail, making the whole thing look like a "neon tube." The phenomenon was silent and lasted between 1 and 3 minutes. In all likelihood, it was the atmospheric re-entry of a meteorite or space debris.
