| Name | David W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It is amazing to me that it was so low. Seeming to be near or just over some tree tops but never did I see it lose any altitude. Also the clock was at 5:41 p.m. There was a large bright star that I remember seeing way up above (Seemed odd to see one larger bright star at this hour to me). Maybe north star or some planet? (just saying) |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Stayed bright white in the front, like a very bright shining light. Up front just behind the bright shining light it was changing from blue to red, then back to blue/red.had a sparkling white tail like a roman candle.The tail seemed to stay straight w/ no sparks falling to far from it. Seemed to stay consistant in lenth a straight line. It seemed to slow in speed, then pick back up in speed. The blues and reds were very bright and beautiful as they were luminated from the very bright front. A 2 second burn of the blue then the color would very quickly switch up into a bright red (I would have to estimate somewhere near 60' in length)(Just adding) |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Speckles tailed twinkling like christmas tree lights, glowing speckles making this tail stayed consistent, it seemed when they were nearing the tail they may then have been starting to descend slightly then disappear |
