Initial Sighting Reports:
07JUN2012 Sietske Galama Beirut  20:50 BEIRUT TIME A good 15 seconds before it ;fizzled out in a spiral movement In the northern sky, a little under the Big Dipper Mainly a white wedged shaped cloud with a light at the point. Like the light of a landing plane (we thought intially it was a plne as we are on a landing route) No, left smoke (we assume) It was a wedge shaped cloud, with a light at the point. We thought initially it was a landing plane entering a cloud. It lit that wedge-shaped cloud fomr some 10 seconds,and then suddenly the light tunred a couple of spirals and disappeared. A smoke ring appeared.

07JUN2012 Eric Northern Afghanistan 2300 AFT 60 sec left to right direction. I was facing north west white light and blue tint light moon brightness no Just wanted to report that this was NOT a meteor. It looked almost 100% identical to the incident in DEC 2009 of the failed Russian missle. It was a light with a trail, moving fast, then started a small swirl and shortly turned into a bright light, starting small and growing bigger. The light formed a cone on the west side, and a ball on the east side of the center point. My guess, failed missle.
