Hi List, Over in de.sci.raumfahrt, a question about an odd unID obs has been posted. Someone has suggested as a possible explanation that it might have been the beginning of a reentry. Could that have been the case? If yes, what would be the possible candidate object? Data, as posted, translated by me: Location: Munich, Germany Date: January 1st, 2001 Time: about 0:30am local [Munich is GMT+1] Object: easily visible to the unaided eye; orange glow; a bit larger than a planet; far away, so probably not a plane; fast, smooth motion away from the near zenith area of the sky towards NW; obs duration about 20 seconds. The original poster had added a plea not to make fun of the interesting time-of-day/date combination and his possible state of mind, and that his whole family saw it and they were all stone sober. :) CU!
