Reports Report 2529a (Event 2529-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kyler L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | If you split the tail into a length of 12 that starts a 1, then there was a strange gap where the train disappeared for a moment starting at part 3 and reappeared at part 5. It was brighter at first and then by the end seemed to burn up and disseminate. From our location it looked to fall in front of the mountain line and seemed to fall in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley. I was very large, bright and green and to us it looked to be about 7 inches in length in the sky from where we were on Bangerter and it being North-East (50% more East Leaning) of us and looked very much to fall in the middle of the entire valley. |
