| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 15s |
| Length | 13° |
| Remarks | Im unsure of the actual degree of the train. This was one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen. It was so colorful and looked huge compared to what I'm used to seeing with shooting start it was easily a 100x bigger than any shooting stars i have ever witnessed. The train stayed lit up in the sky for around 10 to 20 seconds. I wasnt timing it i was stunned and in awe. Started out as a big ball then quickly turned into an elongated tear drop shape eventually fading into a thin bright white line before completely fading. The final bottom of the tear drop was around the size of the tip of my pinky finger and the train has amazing colors before fading to bright light. It was easily as bright as a full moon. Im still amazed by it and how to describe it in detail. |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I dont kniw if this is the original light you see but i saw a bright flash in the sky then watched as it fell to earth and immediately started to google what the heck i just witnessed once it was over. |
