| Observation | No |
| Duration | -1s |
| Length | -1° |
| Remarks | Initially there wasn't a train. I thought it was a helicopter at first because it was moving so slow, except for the weird coloring. As it crossed the highway to my left, the train suddenly burst into a gold trail and then quickly fizzled out. Almost like a large bottle-rocket. A VERY large green bottle rocket that was very close. |
