| Remarks | Last night around 11:20 pm I was watching the stars in my backyard. I was facing S-W when I saw a flying object. First, I thought it was a small airplain; however, its outline was yellowish-redish and sparkling slightly. The it turned into redish- brown, while appearing slightly bigger and elevated, and within 2-4 seconds exploded an disappeared. It was flying toward N-E. I was stunned and wished something good. |
