| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I used to live outside of Area 51 and Nellis AFB. I know what a rocket or satellite launch looks like. We also sat outside to observe starlink being launch in our skies. This was very bright, very fast, then the sparkles, like disintegration and it was gone. Dawn was breaking, so the sky was getting light, yet it was bright enough that I could see it clearly. |

| Remarks | I saw a bright sreak. Then it sparkled. Like it was disintegrating. Then it was gone. I had taken my dog to go to the bathroom.. so it was a like a couple of seconds I saw it streak across the sky. Guessing at how high it was in the sky. I was in the front yard and it caught my eye as it was just above the plum tree in the yard. The tree is about 17 to 20 feet high. I was about 20 to 25 feet from the tree. |
