| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Please email me back if there is any information about we what had seen. We have never seen anything like this before and are a bit frightened, we initially thought it was a missile strike. The entire sky lit up and we saw a long blue trail for about a minute after the light appeared to hit the ground. It was seen from Montauk, New York in a very dark backyard with no lights around. Thanks. |
