| Remarks | The light of the object, once it reached it's peak luminosity, illuminated the trail following behind it for a couple of seconds. The object was white and bright but did not illuminate any part of the ground. It was a glowing train of green slowing fading to teal then dark blue. I have never seen something like it and was totally captivated. |

| Remarks | The white, illuminated object ended with it looking as if it were a firework that slowly fizzed out and went through the light spectrum from white, to yellow, to orange and then finally to the darkness of the night sky. it looked like there was a little bit of fragmentation after the object flashed for a split second. |
