| Remarks | Wow! That I was standing at my sink and saw this in the night sky was an amazing sight to see. Had no idea what it was. The reddish orange burst looked amazing. First time I have ever witnessed anything like this. Makes a shooting star look like nothing! :) |

| Remarks | A burst of reddish orange flaring in the dark night western sky from my seen from my kitchen window with the burst and tail lasting about 1-3 seconds. It continued moving what seemed to be in an upward direction and went behind a cloud cove and about ten seconds later it reappeared to what seemed to look like the same line tjat it was traveling on, and it continued moving in a southerly direction, but it seemed to be much smaller than a star now as if it were much higher, in the sky and it continued moving slowly out of my view from my kitchen window. |
