I have never seen quite an event. We were in Arches National Park stargazing. It was a clear night with a full moon so the stars were not as clear as probably normal. All of a sudden I saw this object moving in the sky. Amazing brightness. My wife had her camera and quickly told her to take the submitted photo and then video. If this is a real and true event reported by others, we can try to submit the video or e-mail.

We have a video that I could not upload. When you blew it up you could see a glowing train that eventually vaporized. It was far brighter than any star in the sky. We were looking west from Arches Parkway Road in Moab, Utah.
