| Remarks | My husband and I were on a late night drive in our car. I first noticed a couple of blinking, light green lights in the sky. I had never seen anything like this before, and pointed it out to my husband. Then my husband and I saw a glowing train moving slowly, horizontally, from south to north. We saw something disintegrate right before our eyes. At first we thought we were watching a meteor, except that it did not behave like any shooting star that we've ever seen. As it was breaking up, my husband saw very small streaks of orange, then we saw a little bit of yellow/light yellow, then a white smoke trail. |
