| Name | Patty D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | When i first saw it, it was so large, i thought it was an airplane on fire crashing down to earth, but the green color led me to believe it was something else. also i didn't check my watch after i saw it (i wish I had) but I was so stunned and amazed at what I was seeing so I had to approximate the time by what I was doing and where I was coming from when I saw it, but I believe it was about 9:45pm or maybe a few minutes after that. I really wish I had looked at my watch! |

| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 2s |
| Length | - |
| Remarks | the train was also green but as i looked towards the very end it was more whitish in color. it wasn't a really long glowing train because the front of it was so large and big and fat that it seemed most of the light/green fire was up in the ball itself, there was a trail/train to it tho. I didn't quite understand the question about how long it was in degrees using a fist held at arm's length, so i left that blank. if you need that info maybe you could explain again how i woul figure the length out |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | same as i said above |
