| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I think I said it all, please look into this. I'd love to know exactly what it was I saw this evening as I've never seen anything quite like this in my 38 years with 20 of them spent stargazing. It was extraordinary enough to me to research and look into this for hours now and then to end up submitting this report. I pray there were more witnesses and they also report this sighting as it was definitely remarkable enough to be noticed and reported on. :) thank you!! |

| Remarks | It seemed to blink in the center of the long shape a little. It also moved very slow, slower than most planes and it was as bright as some of the brightest stars but it was long like a tubular shape. This was a very strange sighting to me and I'm an avid stargazer. I hope there were additional witnesses, this was quite amazing and extraordinary to me. |
