Our observations indicate that SN 2006X is a highly reddened object with an RV value much smaller than the canonical 3.1 for average Galactic dust, and has the highest expansion velocity ever published for aSN Ia.

Highest observed velocity of the ejecta, and a slow decline in the Blue magnitude. This is a local event. If this were viewed from a cosmic distance before this local event occurred, how would this event be interpreted?
