Reports Report 2521f (Event 2521-2017)
| 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 East of us and looked very much to fall in the middle of the entire valley. But it could have been farther away since the mountain line was not visible last night and I can't confirm it fell in front of them. |

| Remarks | Right at the end it seemed to burst into little pieces. No parts came of it until the end when the train stopped and it seemed to have tons of tiny pieces break off and immediately disappear. But there was also a strange gap, as stated above, near the front art of the train where it seemed not visible of a millisecond. |
