| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen a couple meteors but they were orange or yellow and very fast. This was massive with no stars behind it. I thought it could've been something from space before the train was so bright and hung so long. The seconds felt so long but so short after it was over!!! I couldn't believe my eyes. I'd love to hear back if you're able to with any thoughts you might have!! Thanks! |

| Remarks | A bright white train, as the bright dot traveled left the train was first white then bright light pink, bright light blue then green. The colors were very fast but the train and dot remained for seconds. It didn't look like smoke, it was more of a straight bright line blazing in the sky. Some parts disappeared before others, leaving a bar in the sky. It looked like the reflection of a powerline, just a hard streak of white. |
