I have examined the re-entry circumstances of all six objects mentioned by Ed Cannon as candidates for the "Lights in the Sky" (over the Bahamas) account at http://www.attrill.freeserve.co.uk/lights.htm Unfortunately, none of the six could have caused the observed phenomena. Most of them probably decayed later in the day than the reported time (1985 Jan 11 02:48 UTC) and none had orbital planes that allowed them to be observable from the Bahamas at this time.
