| Remarks | Glowing train, at one point appeared to be flames from the tail that flickered. This was more on the downward trajectory. I'm not sure how to interpret the degrees estimate - I am confused by the description, so my estimate may be off. Its length was about 10 times the diameter of the glowing object. |
