Hello,

Anybody who knows whether there are any meteor reports that confirm below  
sighting?

Date : 25 December 2005
Time : approx. 18:48 GMT
Place : Near Kaya, Burkina Faso, West Africa.

3 (or 4 ?) bright orange lights (no blinking) 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. The  
height of the object over the horizon was estimated at approx. 20°, it  
covered an estimated 45° horizontally in about 30 seconds.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Frits Westra
