“Meteorologist Rubens J. Villela reported a tear-shaped luminous body crossing below an overcast, abruptly dividing into two tandem parts, brightening in blue-white and red and producing backward-radiating rays.”
“Villela considered the phenomenon meteor-like in some respects but judged its motion too slow for a meteor; ANOMALY preserves both the observation and that source-level comparison.”
