Details:
Last night we saw something strange in the sky above Salamanca, Spain. While a friend and I were out for some astronomical observation, we saw a very bright, "strange" white cloud shining very brightly in the late twilight at 20:27 UT. We immediately noticed it was very strange because it seemed to be following an orbital trajectory, so we ruled out that it was a conventional cloud. We observed it until 20:37, growing fainter but visible to the naked eye. It's the first time we've seen something this strange. What could it be? We don't know, but we believe it could be a rocket stage, or even a vent or the loss of fuel from a rocket. There are reports from other parts of Spain, even Germany and France.
