AnomalyOn May 15, 1980 at 12:30 AM, a witness saw a luminous ovoid-shaped object crossing the sky while descending rapidly. Red-orange in color, it was followed by a tail. The object's brightness was far greater than that of a star. The object disappeared while heading West. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon. This person was probably a witness to an atmospheric reentry.
