Duration: 3-5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Palm Springs, FL, USA

Shape: Light

A light like a rocket passed in a NW to SSW arc.

A light came from the NW sky traveling SE. It appeared to be very distant in the sky like a satellite. It shined like a rocket with a bright, white head and red, pointed tail. The head flickered like a twinkling star. The tail had little flicker. There was no trail behind it. The moon was full and would have illuminated a trail. The sky was clear with stars showing.

The object continued to about 80 degrees above the western horizon. The brilliance and tail began to fade as it passed the zenith. The path became a slow arc bending to S and then SSW. It faded to a dim white light by the time it disappeared behind trees.
