AnomalyA witness reports an observation made on February 15, 2013 at 6 p.m. (local time in Martinique): for about half an hour, this person observes the slow passage in the sky of a luminous phenomenon the color of fire. No particular noise is heard by the witness, who had time to take two photographs of the phenomenon. This observation was shared by many witnesses in Martinique, very attentive to the sky following the coincidence between the passage of asteroid 2012DA14 and the meteor that fell in the Urals that same morning. It was the subject of a report on the ATV channel. Airplane contrails at sunset (or sunrise) are often orange, very bright, and contrasted against the dim sky of twilight. Certain weather conditions, particularly near the tropics, produce spectacular contrails, see http://contrailscience.com/short-sunlit-contrails-look-like-ufos The GEIPAN classifies this case "A": observation of the condensation trail of an airplane.
