Remarks Object appeared as a white glow with a size about 4-5 times that of Venus. The glow or tail was reminiscent of pictures of the old Apollo reentry capsules. Tails was very short if hardly existent and the object moved quickly across the sky yet much slower than meteorites. I would almost describe this as a satellite burning up across the sky but moving at 10 times the rate.
