| Remarks | I was at Davis Island, Fl at the boat ramps fishing and saw this object appears going almost straight now, the trail behind it was very close to the object (not like smoke from a plane). The colors were bright orange outer glow, bluish-white core, faint purple at the edges of the inner flames. Appeared suddenly, nearly vertical descent, short trail close to the object, disappeared into shelf cloud, no sound. If I were to hold up a dime, it would cover the object I saw from my distance. Because of the shelf clouds and night time, im not sure where exactly but it was past the buildings on the other side of the water between Davis island and Palm River Claire-Mel Fl. Thank you for reading! |
