| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought it was an aircraft with a very bright light, but as I observed, I confirmed it was travelling across the sky opposite what a plane would be, with the bright white object moving and "causing" the tail. As the object moved into darker sky, the tail became more clear while the object stayed very bright. The object was very bright, very white with a long white tail that had 3 parts, a central tail with two other tail coming off at an angle. There was no sound associated with the object, and as it travelled away from me it eventually disappeared. I captured other photos as it travelled across the sky. |
