| Remarks | It disappeared/was blocked by a house after I saw it, so I had to leave some details blank. I was with someone else viewing this. It caught our eyes because it was so bright, we thought it was a plane at first, but it moved faster than a plane and slower than a shooting star. It had a tail that looked and moved like fire. The front of it that is in front of the tail looked like a circle of light, like a plane or star. Not sure if it was meteor, space junk, etc. it definitely wasn't fireworks. Thought I heard what was the train in the distance, but not sure if it was an actual train or the fireball. |
