| Remarks | I've seen the space station before and this kind of reminded me of that in the way that it was super bright and looked like it appeared out of nowhere and then looked like it disappeared into nowhere in a short distance. It looked much closer than the moon. Left kind of a zig zag trail that for a split second make me think it was a firework shooting into the sky but it was way too fast, big, bright, far, and it disappeared. It was also over the ocean so there were no people under. |

| Remarks | It was a bright flashing like with kind of like a squiggly, zig zaggy trail. All lasted like one second so it was hard to see, but it appeared out of nowhere and disappeared into nowhere in just like a small section of the sky (as in, it didnt streak all the way across). |
