A witness saw a green fireball with a yellow belt leaving a trail in the sky around 5h30 pm. on that cloudy day.
It swooshed silently by (2 or 3 seconds) in a straight line over Des Acadiens street in the city of Quebec so it is to wonder where the sound of a ”mabe” military aircraft 4 to 5 minutes after the object had passed was coming from.
The actual report of what the witness saw is below in French as this is how the report was sent to us

WASHINGTON (AP) — NASA’s new planet-hunting telescope has found two mystery objects that are too hot to be planets and too small to be stars.
The Kepler Telescope, launched in March, discovered the two new heavenly bodies, each circling its own star. Telescope chief scientist Bill Borucki of NASA said the objects are thousands of degrees hotter than the stars they circle. That means they probably aren’t planets. They are bigger and hotter than planets in our solar system, including dwarf planets.
“The universe keeps making strange things stranger than we can think of in our imagination,” said Jon Morse, head of astrophysics for NASA.
The new discoveries don’t quite fit into any definition of known astronomical objects, and so far don’t have a classification of their own. Details about the mystery objects were presented Monday at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Washington.
For now, NASA researcher Jason Rowe, who found the objects, said he calls them “hot companions.”
How hot? Try 26,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s hot enough to melt lead or iron
MOSCOW – Russia’s space agency chief says a spacecraft may be dispatched to knock a large asteroid off course and reduce the chances of earth impact, even though U.S. scientists say such a scenario is unlikely.
