This document is a declassified intelligence summary reporting on a sighting of an unidentified aerial phenomenon in South Moravia, Czechoslovakia, on the night of January 18, 1991. According to a report from the Bratislava Pravda newspaper, eyewitnesses in the town of Uhersky Brod observed a mysterious object in the sky between 23:17 and 23:20 local time (22:17–22:20 GMT). The witnesses described the object as having a shining tail, similar to that of a comet, from which burning pieces were occasionally falling. The object was reported to be at a relatively high altitude, moving quickly from north to south, and emitting a glow comparable to that of a full moon. The incident was also observed by astronomers, who provided an official assessment that the phenomenon was likely the destruction of a satellite or a portion of a satellite burning up upon re-entry into the upper atmosphere.
