Fiery debris enters atmosphere.

At 6:15 while out due to nicotine addiction witnessed fiery entry of debris into atmosphere. The group of objects moved rather slowly across the northern sky from west to east at 25-30 degrees above the horizon leaving long yellow burning trails. The objects were very nearly directly behind one another suggesting that a single larger object was breaking up. Although a quite spectacular thing to view, there was no indication whatever that this sighting was of anything other than debris passively entering the atmosphere.

NUFORC Note:

Reported to be re-entering space debris. We are grateful to all of those who submitted reports. PD
