Subject: Nov. 16, 1998 re entry
Hello Sirs/
I have been through the See Sat-L Archives for a reentry that occurred
on Nov 16, 1998. The reentry was visible and filmed from Punta Gorda
Florida. The only reentry mention I can find in the archives for that
date is this:
>fireball or reentry ... ?
>Hi, I went out to look at an Iridium flare (which hapened on time). >Just
>before that, at 18:31 local time 11/16 = 11/17 02:21 UT, I saw a nice

>approximately N elevation 45 degrees in ~1-2 s. Silent, blue-white,
>shedding a lot of reddish particles with 1 larger reddish particle

You may want to have a look at the video footage.
It's at: http://iwonderproductions.com/video.htm
I would appreciate your assistance in a determination of what
this was. It was apparently quite large. Someone from NORAD allegedly
made a pronunciation it "was not manmade" whatever that means haha
Bruce Buckingham, a spokesman for NASA at the Kennedy Space Center in
1998 said "There's no way it was a rocket" There have been wilder
theories bandied about I'm not even going to mention.
If you can link this to a re entry visible from SW Florida or refer me
to other sites I would appreciate it. You may post my inquiry to the
See Sat-L list and supply my e-mail address: milkyway@peganet.com
I am assisting the videographer in hopefully ending this mystery.
Thank you all again!
