|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 25s |
| Length | 40° |
| Remarks | There was a cluster of dark objects surrounded by orange fire glow. The cluster was about the size of half a lady fist at arms length. The dark objects were gradually spreading. The train was thick, maybe 10 degrees. it was very long, 3 or 4 lady fists long and persisting orange and bright. We first saw it a bit before the Libra constellation and it passed the scorpion constellation and continued east over a hill and was still bright until we lost sight of it. My time listed of the time of the train is a guess It was at least 20 seconds we watched it go by and lost sight of it. It moved slower than the other shooting stars we saw. |
