  The Shiromizu et al. \cite{SMS} covariant decomposition formalism is used to
find out the brane properties rooted from the 5-dimensional Witten bubble
spacetime. The non-local tensor $E_{ab}$ generated by the 5-dimensional Weyl
tensor gives rise at an anisotropic energy-momentum tensor on the brane with
negative energy density and $p = \rho/3$ as equation of state. The tidal
acceleration is towards the brane and that is in accordance with the negative
energy density on the brane. The anisotropic fluid has vanishing "bulk"
viscosity but the shear viscosity coefficient is $r$- and $t$- dependent. The
brane is endowed with an apparent horizon which is exactly the radial null
geodesic.
