That would have been cool! FYI - no sound and it was quiet where I was at - just sounds of the waves.
Persistent train
Observation
Yes
Duration
2s
Length
4°
Remarks
Small at initial sighting, then grew in size to maybe a 10% of a full moon. with a green circularish head and a green train (like a Northern Lights green) and a tail of one or two fingers at arm\'s length. After almost 2 seconds the entire train vanished and then about a 1/2 second later it reappeared much smaller for a short flash before it was gone. The sighting appeared to be a single object in a falling line or arc and I believe it passed beyond my horizon (the gulf of mexico) rather than entering the gulf before my horizon. I should have watched for waves... didn\'t notice any bigger waves for the next 20 minutes I was there though. I did not see the sky light up at initial sighting - only the initial brightness and greenness and movement caught my eye. Cool!
Terminal flash
Observation
No
Remarks
Not really a flash. The brightness grew in intensity and size, then vanished, then reappeared smaller in size and diminished in size as it continued its downward appearing path.
