possible explosion above the earth's atmosphere

Some sort of explosion above earth's atmosphere.

I was getting into my truck at seven pm when I sighted a brillantly glowing cloud. The glow appearred almost directly overhead but somewhat to the north and west, from my location in Williston, Florida.

I quickly called my wife who is currently in Canada, and she went outside and saw the same glowing cloud. I was able to view the object through night vision monocular and it appeared very much like a comet with a nucleus and tail aligned toward the northwest; initially the tail was nebulous, but also contained a split so that it appeared as a V.

But this appeared to be drifting toward the east very slowly, but too fast to be a comet.

As I was observing the cloud I saw five distinct small flashes of light toward the nucleus area; gradually the object faded in luminosity and disappeared.

NUFORC Note:

Missile venting fuel in space. PD
