Hi. I have come across an article in a local newspaper describing a sighting which took place over Malta at 10 pm (UT+2hrs) on 19 June. The description was "several eyewitnesses confirming the celestial phenomenon observed on 19 June 1998 at around 10pm. One eyewitness reports that a bright object was observed travelling in the north-west quadrant of the night sky towards the south. This fast, orange-red object lasted several seconds, and got progressively brighter towards the end of its flight, leaving a trail in its wake. The light faded away when still well above the horizon." The article writer mentions whether this could be a satellite decay event. >From the above the most probable explanation is a meteor sighting, but to exclude all possibilities, does anyone know of any decay event prdeicted for the vicinity on the 19th of June? Regards Mark. Mosta, Malta ( 35.909N, 14.425E )
