| Length | 10° |
| Remarks | Thought it was a fast airplane over campsite, but it got bigger and whiter and was going at a down angle, and it had a trail of white first then first time in my life, saw multi-colored trail, like a rainbow. Was truly spectual event my husband and I shared! :) and we made a wish and hugged. But the multi-colored trail was the first I had ever seen. We wondered, speculated whether it was a satelite or something that was falling to the sky. |

| Remarks | Seemed to get brighter and bigger as it got closer to the ground, before a rainbow trail, getting smaller and then disappearing. Not sure if that is a terminal flash. |
