Hello all, I received below observation report from West Africa. I could not find any decays on the date and time given. Please correct me if I am wrong. Any suggestions are appreciated. ______________ Date : 25 december 2005 Time : approx 18:48 GMT Place : Near Kaya, Burkina Faso, West Africa GPS reading: 13°17’50”N 0°38’52”W 3 (or 4 ?) bright orange lights (no blinking) that seemed to be regularly spaced moved rather low over the eastern horizon in a north-south direction along a slightly descending trajectory. The lights themselves left no individual trails. However, the group of lights left a long, faintly visible, silvery trail behind. No sound was heard. The height of the object over the horizon was estimated at approx. 20°, it covered an estimated 45° horizontally in about 30 seconds. The next day, we spoke with people in Dori (about 50 km east of where our sighting was done), who confirmed exactly what we had seen. They had also sighted the object in the eastern sky, thus we have seen a phenomenon that was at a distance of MORE than 50 km! (the very eastern part of Burkina Faso or Niger). ______________ Thanks for your info.
