Witnesses saw what appeared to look like a "teardrop" One reported that a loud boom was heard, like an explosion while walking on a beach in Okaloosa Island, Fl. 15 minutes later, while driving back west, they saw the teardrop object leaving a trail of what looked like a tail of smoke or fire in red, maybe caused by the sun set. One witness called home and asked a family member to go outside and two other witnesses saw streaks in the sky, both heading west, estimate altitude was 15-20 thousand feet. One witness reported the original object was not moving, but when they reached their home, the object look like it dived and then disappear or like it just shrunk and turn small. Two family members saw the other two streaks and one disappeared and another one appeared south of it. That one disappeared and another streak appeared going east, it looked like a fast moving plane, but no sound or sonic boom was not heard. Has there been reports of such events?
