| Name | Gary C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We had snow falling at the time, so it was somewhat cloudy...the south west sky was obviously clear enough to allow me to see it. I\'ve never seen anything like it in my life. Very brief. It looked like what the space shuttle probably looked like when it broke up on reentry, although more brief in it\'s visibility time. |

| Remarks | I first thought it was a plane moving extremely fast that was going to crash.......but it was here and gone in less than 2 seconds. It was to big to be a shooting star. It was very briefly in a staright line and then looked like it broke up. |
