The report, as filed
I seen an object in the sky about 12;30 am. I watched it hover over the city for about 20 min. and it started to move very slowly, it was very quiet and did not look very far from where I was watching it. I was surprised there was no noise. It was round at the top with two long tails hanging from the bottom of the object, it was very bright. It continued to move just over a large building in the distance over the college area of town, it went down behind the building very fast, so fast I thought whatever it was crashed and I awaited for a bang, or loud noise in which there was none, I have only told a few people in my town, but cannot believe no other person has see this. I feel it has to be reported.

Two objects flying south bound at very high speeds. One could have been a satellite but the other was much faster and veered south west. It looked much smaller. Did not take long to fly out of sight of view.

When driving from Bathurst to Caraquet, NB, we saw an unidentified object in the night sky that was moving very (faster than I imagine a plane or drone could move) quickly change course. It then streaked towards the ground, emitting green fire/light for about 2 seconds. We couldn't tell how large or far away it was, but its movements were very irregular.
