| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | My answers to your horizon question are likely incorrect. It was very much a guess. Also, the color was a hazy recollection as well. The way it it was disintegrating all around and how it looked very different than any shooting star I've ever seen (brighter, more "fiery" and not white) is the main observation I made. Hope this helps. |

| Remarks | Unlike a shooting star, it looked like matter was disintegrating along with and behind it. It didn't look thin, fast and white like a shooting star might. More fiery and perhaps the trail lingered longer. It also wasn't a flash. |
