| Duration | - |
| Length | - |
| Remarks | It left an orange/red trail as it crossed over the sky (over-head). it also appeared to break apart into 2 distinct objects as it crossed over the sky. The trail was very long and seamed to streak across half the sky as it crossed overhead. as it broke apart, both objects each had their own trail. I can not say for sure how long it lasted, only a few seconds at most, and I can't guess at the degree. |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | yes, it appeared to break into two (maybe more) objects, but for sure at some point the trail split into two, with two bright objects. it happened so fast, I couldn't tell if there was more. |
