SIGHTING: BRIDGETOWN (BARBADOS)

Witness Testimony

"Fast, high altitude tubular object with short uneven narrow contrail in clear skies with silvery body.Looking aprox SW, vehicle was headed approx. SSW and was visible over a 10 degree arc between 60 and 70 degrees above horizon. Short singular contrail from main body, body was thin, silvery or reflective , I did not see any wings as it was at a high altitude, it disappeared behind large cumulus cloud.I was walking on beach at time and usuually watch the airplanes coming in to land at nearby airport ( they are at 1 to 2000 feet about 1/2 mile off coast from where I saw this).I have seen airpanes at high altitude but with large wide contrails and am familiar with their speed and I would guess this one to be at least twice as fast as any I have seen.I called to my wife to look but she was 20 feet away and missed it.I estimate that other than a UFO, it could also be space junk in re-entry, or military , or ? I also do not know if airliners from Europe on route to SA fly over Bridgetown airport as a checkpoint.Contrail was short, uneven and evaporated quickly and stretched about 10 or 15 lenghts behind object and seemed to be uneven with apparent bubbles as if using pulses.Of course I had no camera and the event was so fast, I wouldn't have been able to focus it fast enough.I estimate body length to width ratio of 5:1 to 10:1.I am sending this from back home after the end of my vacation.Image is clear as a bell in my mind. I was not looking for it, it just captured my eye as I scanned the beautiful Caribbean sky ."
