Witness Testimony

"Large Space debris spotted entering the atmosphere. You can see the contrail, and further in the video you see the contrail spiral which led me to believe whatever came in was spiraling in. Lighting was horrible as the sun was below the horizon. At the end of the video you see the second glow real bright near the water while the main debris continues on. Very hard to see on a phone, easier to see HD on a PC.Lost sight because they either finished burning up in the atmosphere or they went out of sight.Video of sighting:[Link moved to FI Section/cms/tg]"
