| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Weston H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was absolutely spectacular. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The initial burst of light caused me to flinch/recoil. It all happened right above my head in the sky. It seemed to be traveling in a North, slightly Northwest direction from my vantage. I was facing roughly to the south, it began in my front left field of vision and finished behind me and to my right (but like I said it was generally directly above my head). |

| Remarks | Glowing orange train. The way I’ve described it to others is it look like the sky had been cut open with a knife with the cut edges being orange. The whole thing was directly over my head. No horizon involvement. |
