| Remarks | It was so phenomenal, although for part of the viewing experience, I questioned whether I was seeing a military event! I didn’t know this type of sky event was possible. I think the sun’s rays must’ve been illuminating the trail which seemed almost like dust fanning out against a background of dark sky. The tail was HUGE. The event ended when I saw the initially very white ball glimmer out. It almost seemed to ultimately leave the trail behind and then glimmer out. The tail had at least 2 tails within itself symmetrically (if that makes sense.) Thank you Definitely not a helicopter Claire Bierhorst |

| Remarks | Incredible: a fanning train. I was looking out over the ocean. The train must’ve been illuminated, because the sun had recently set (although the background sky was already dark.) The train was a huge long isosceles triangle. I am certain this was some kind of debris from space, and it was coming through the atmosphere and burning. It was stunning. |
