| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 2s |
| Length | 5° |
| Remarks | Looked like smoke similar to a satellite re entering, as far as I could tell the illumination came from a single extremely bright source that appeared to be the source of the trail. It was much larger than other meteor trails I've seen, so much that I assumed it was a large piece of space debris until I couldn't find results for anything expected to re-enter in my area |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The object flashed and disappeared before going below my line of sight, the trail appeared to persist briefly afterwards but I can't say for certain |
