| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 2s |
| Length | 10° |
| Remarks | I saw a fiery, glowing train (orange and yellow) resembling the thrust from a rocket. As the object continued, the glow still appeared as it went out of sight. I could see what resembled smoke or vapor just behind the tail end of the glow. This part of the trail appeared in the sky for several hours. I could see the trail starting to move from a straight line to curling lines as if a rocket had gone out of control. |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I first saw a huge blue flash lighting up the sky appearing in the north sky. Looked almost like the atomic blasts I have seen on the History channel. |
