| Name | Keith A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It had a nearly horizontal trajectory. It was not a plane or a drone. No blinking lights just one large glowing light like a brilliant green neon glowstick. First I wondered if it was a plane that might be crashing so I opened the door to get a better view as well as hear anything. It was moving quickly, like a jet would be, yet not streaking as fast as a meteorite does. Quick but surprisingly slow.... |

| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 1s |
| Length | 2° |
| Remarks | There wasn't much of a train. From my vantage point, it appeared to make about a 70 degree turn to the left (east) and mostly disappear except for a faint orange glow like a cigarette ember which lasted maybe a second. It did not appear to have a train or trail (like a comet) that was very long behind it. A slight one though. |
