| Length | - |
| Remarks | It’s hard to say the length of the train. It was definitely glowing. I was so surprised by what I was seeing it took me a minute to gather my thoughts. I was laying in bed (and had just woken up. We have large windows that allow us to view the night sky and it was directly in my line of view over the mountain on the south side of the property. It was beautiful. Stayed in the sky atleast 10 seconds. Very colorful. Might’ve even included purple but I can’t say for sure now. It slowly disappeared from one end to the other. |

| Remarks | There was a ball of light on one end and a train behind it. The train disappeared in a linear fashion but appeared to have some broken up lighting as it was going away. Almost like a sparkler. |
