| Remarks | When I turned to look to the west and saw it, it must have already broken up. It looked like a stationary string of pearls, with 6-10 points of light, each one as bright as Venus (which was nearby in the southwest. It seemed to have been traveling east to west. The length of the string was about 5 degrees. After about 10 seconds they faded away. |
