| Name | Heidi |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen anything like this before. It was large and seemed close to where I was. It arced smoothly but didn\'t seem to travel nearly as quickly as meteors I\'ve seen in the past, where they streak across the sky. The train was rectangular and I didn\'t notice it flickering, just glowing. The train seemed consistent in thickness and length until it disappeared behind trees. |
