| Observer | |

| Name | Hollie D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was so much better in real life than any video footage I have ever seen. It looked as if it was heading southeast from directly overhead. If it did touch down somewhere, it would probably have been in Nevada or California. |

| Duration | 5s |
| Length | - |
| Remarks | I looked up at the sky and saw a large, glowing, colorfully flashing light and realized it was too big to be an airplane, and it had a tail behind it like a shooting star, except it was still light out. I am guessing around 8:45pm, because although the sun was still shining, it was starting to set and could still be seen on the horizon. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The entire thing was flashing different colors as it was moving across the sky. It was larger than any shooting star or comet I've ever seen. |
