| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sarah S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The train was neon, green, glowing, and thicker than any meteor/shooting star I've ever witnessed in my life. It was gone just as fast as it appeared and drivers in front of me all slammed on their brakes to take in what they just saw. It was beautiful. |
