| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Adam B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I'm honestly surprised at how long the object was visible. It was substantial in size, as was its train, and it was amazingly bright with the object glowing a clean white with a shimmering/glowing blue train that lingered seconds after. |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | All of a sudden it was like someone turned on a bright light in the sky, much brighter than a full moon, and there were a couple flashes like lightning striking rapidly. I saw the flashes straight through the umbrella I was sitting under, I stood straight up to see what it was and that is when I saw the object streak across the sky. |
