falling satellite

this is in response to many reports on this same date in that same area, it was my 18th birthday so I remember it very well, and i saw the same thing reported by many others' in missouri, the next day I recall reading about and hearing on the news that it was acutally a japanese communications satellite that came down. as I recall it was like 3 long blazing trails all parrellel with each other stacked vertically with several orb shaped objects intermixed between and around the three trails. We watched it and it was silent. You can probably check news reports from december 2nd about the object.

oh yeah, and a friend of mine called the hotline this evening cause he saw the number on the tv on public access in columbia missouri, and he left a crazy message around 7:00 p.m. central time, please disregard it, he got excited and decided to screw with people on the hotline. I'm really sorry about that.
