| Remarks | I saw a large (much larger than a plane) bright ball of light form in the dark sky, then I saw it suddenly become more intense in brightness. The object then moved in a gentle arc from right to left (from my position), similar to the shape of a rainbow. The light of the arc and object quickly dimmed and faded back to black sky. |
