NARRATIVE

A bright starlike object was seen shooting towards south east direction coming from the west above van nuys city. It had a reddish tail like after burners from a jet but was quite. I thought it was a shooting star or space debris but it was not, it had trajectory. After a few seconds the after burner was gone then it did a gl free fall. It was spining as it fell then dissappered halfway going down. I dod not hear any explosions or saw an impact. Thats all
Starlink-97 (6-20) launch from Vandenburg
