| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The object initially looked like a plane at night with regard to speed and height, but then it dissipated after what seemed to be a minute of watching it. It had crossed nearly the entire sky. It burned out and looked red-ish at it's conclusion. It also seemed to fragment, but little could be seen because of it's distance from us. We were confused because it had no train and seemed to be a very bright star that was moving faster than a satellite, but much slower and consistently than a shooting star. |
