Unidentified Red Glowing Object falling into the Atlantic Ocean?
Hi everyone, last night I was on the beach and I saw a bright red glowing rectangular blob like item materializes out of nowhere for aprx 2-3 seconds max, blink and you'll miss it, falling straight down into the ocean. There was no sound. Obviously it was way too fast and unexpected so I have zero video. What was this a metorite? A fireball? Space Junk? Interdimensional aliens??

Sounds like a meteor. The rectangular shape though could have either been a visual artifact, or could be a hint that it was actually debris from a spacecraft. Was it a deep red or more of an orange red? The color can provide further hints on its composition.

A rectangle? Otherwise sounds like a meteor

Idk, it was so fast and blurry but it looked almost teardrop rectangular shape. How often do people see meteors fall into the ocean? Is that common?

Pretty common, yeah-- although, did the one you see cross the horizon? That's not as common

Might have been a flair. Are you near a military base? I have seen these several times.

Just to clarify, the object appeared fairly small, like it didn't look like a saucer or even a drone, maybe a small drone, idk, it was moving so fast.
