| Object entering southeastern Florida atmosphere at high velocity--NOT SPACE SHUTTLE Leaving my home for a late evening bike ride I noticed an object several feet above the treeline entering our atmosphere in the southeastern sky. I was confident that I was watching the space shuttle Discovery returning form it's mission. I watched as it streaked along the sky at a slow pace with what seemed to be sparks and embers trailing behind. It glowed orange and then red and back to a dark orange. After a few minutes it decended below the treeline where I could not see it. It also appeared to be losing its color. There were several aircraft that seemed to be in the vicinity so again I felt it was a normal shuttle landing. I just read that the shuttle landed around 1:00pm versus this event that I witnessed around 8:00pm. I have contacted several news outlets that have also had recent calls regarding this strange object. I have never seen something like this and wasn't unhinged about it until I found out it wasn't our space shuttle returning home. ((NUFORC Note: The Space Shuttle had landed on November 05th, 2007.
