| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jim B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My first instinct was to check for space debris or missile launches, but this was unlike anything that I have seen. It looked like a glowing rod, but it faded into points of light that resembled stars similar to the brightness of Betelgeuse and Orion’s Belt. |

| Remarks | I saw a glowing light blue train a bit brighter than Venus that was nearly cylindrical in appearance that faded into three smaller glowing parts that faded but seemed to remain in line with the train. I have never seen anything like this before, but my first instinct was “what is the glowing rod in the sky). I watched it for 1-2 seconds before filming. |
