Case description

At about 10:00 PM on 7 June 1959 we were a small village field in front of Ganoa, we saw a bright object falling vertically at great speed. This object was observed for 3 or 4 minutes and when it was at a position and was disappearing, it seems to spit out a long bright tail and exploded, then it was extinction. The observer, a captain and tourist officer, describes seeing a bright object falling vertically at great speed, which then emitted a long bright tail and exploded before disappearing. The image contains a hand-drawn diagram depicting the "Trajectory of the flying object". The diagram shows a curved line that appears to represent the path of the observed object, with annotations indicating various points of interest such as "Jupiter" and the "Height of Jupiter on the horizon". Extracting the text from the document: <Blink dots> = Observable size of the dots in the sky with my glass. ----- = Trajectory of the flying object.
