| Experience Level | 3/5 |

| Remarks | The train appeared to be attached to it, maybe leaning 15 degree to the left off of vertical. The angle of the tail of the object was not opposite of the the angle of motion which was weird. It looked like one engine of a plane on fire falling and the other wing sticking up almost vertical, but no reports of a plane crash in the area. |
