| Delayed Sound | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | We didn't hear anything as the fireball passed over. Approximately three seconds later there was a noise that sounded like an incoming missile. It was nerve wracking because we couldn't figure out if it was God or man made. |
| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 5s |
| Length | 30° |
| Remarks | It was moving pretty slowly but definitely had a train behind it - it was amazing - close to the ground as opposed to way out in the sky - glowed white (first, I think), then yellow orange, then turned green and dissipated. After it disappeared it (about three seconds later) there was a sound like an incoming missile? We thought there was something else in the sky but didn't see anything. We really weren't sure what it was... I've seen shooting stars but this was different...way closer to the ground which is why I thought it might be a missile or plane or something. |
