| Name | Amy S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I walked out on my deck to see if the Moon was visible, I think I saw movement similar to a falling star but immediately was distracted by very bright slow moving series of objects. I called my husband and he came out and saw it too. as it arched towards the earth it disappeared from view, before it would have gone behind my neighbor's trees. The entire thing lasted at least 12-25 seconds it felt longer. I was amazed that it wasn't all over the internet. I have never seen anything like it. |

| Remarks | I think what we saw was mostly the train, it was slow moving and lasted a very long while , just before it I may have seen a quick streak ahead of it. Glowing particles trailing different sizes maybe 10-25 pieces |
