| Remarks | I was outside walking my dogs when I saw it. It was very bright and looked close, flying steadily across the entire sky from my left to right. The front was glowing orange-white with a long, bright tail that stayed visible the whole time. At first, I assumed it was a shooting star and didn’t start recording right away because I expected it to fade, but when it kept going, I took out my phone and started filming. The video isn’t in perfect focus, but it shows how far it traveled. It didn’t explode or disappear suddenly, it just continued out of my line of sight due to a tree and the limits of my phone’s camera. It was beautiful and unlike anything I’ve seen before. |

| Remarks | The front part was round and glowing orange-white, with a very long, bright tail that stretched far across the sky. The tail stayed visible the entire time as it moved, like a shooting star that just kept going without fading. It didn’t disappear quickly — it stayed glowing as it traveled steadily across the sky. The tail looked smooth and continuous, not broken up, and I didn’t notice it changing color or breaking apart. It reminded me of a plane trail, but it was glowing and clearly moving much faster. |
