| Name | Kathryn S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have watched the sky's all my life and have been able to see small to large meteor burning bright with a trail that disappears rather quickly... Some did appear to flash like a small explosion after our of sight. Falling stars are so quick shooting across the sky. Satellites are more like a bright reflection and slow like this, but never ever have I seen a trail. This almost made me think of a missle.. but the trail was far wider. What was remarkable was it was steady going just above tree tops from south to north staying level to horizon. Like it was not coming from way up in the sky to the ground. I am lucky to have been able to see really great things in the sky, but this was magnificent and just so beautiful. I really want to know what it was. |

| Remarks | This object had a bright white round point that flared to the sides trailing back leaving a train that could be seen after the object was out of sight. Bigger than than the biggest meteor I have seen , but slower than any I have seen. Brighter than satellites I have ever seen withe a trail behind it that stayed bright for a while before becoming lighter. It was spectacular. |
