| Name | Steve J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have been watching the sky, all of my life and I haven't seen anything like this. It went from west to east on a flat trajectory, with a foot long train and it seems as if I'm the only one that witnessed it. The video doesn't do it justice. |
