| Name | Neril S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was standing with Kathy Palmer, my fiance and was talking on the phone with a friend who was driving. At the very instance of light, it not only grabbed my fiance\'s attention as well-my friend got excited as well where we both exclaimed...\"Did you see that.....do you see it?\" The cool thing is that he was about 15 miles SE heading West on State Road 54. Clearly, the three of us had never seen any thing like it and we are middle-aged adults. I seen a video that was shown on \'Meteorite Men\' where something like this flash across the sky. If I could estimate with my knowledge of the geographic location of us in FL, I would say anyone would have saw this as far South as Sarasota, as far East as Orlando, and ALL of north FL and possibly to the West as AL. |

| Remarks | glow train very bright white, with the multi color accent coming at different points of duration. To explain and can not recall order exact, but it seem to completely change color every second of the 4 seconds we saw it. My best recollection is that it appeared to be trailing a green accent off a bright white glow source, then I believe it changed to a Blue which went bright blue. Then as it faded o last second or so of view-it became yellowish turning to all white fading stream. |
