NUFORC Sighting 64990

Occurred: 2008-08-03 22:00 Local
Reported: 2008-08-04 05:41 Pacific
Duration: 3-4 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Long Beach, NY, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail

An oval brilliantly bright/white object with a trailing tail moving east to west over the ocean in 3-4 seconds.

The object was bright oval with a trailing tail behind it. The size is hard to determine but if I were to put 75-100 stars together, it might approximate the size if it. It was heading across the sky from east to west at approximately 10:00pm last night, Sunday night. It arked slightly, seeming to hesitate, as if to drop into the ocean, but then as if "restarting" it zoomed across the night sky, with a tail of lesser light trailing behind it. It took about 3 seconds for the whole thing and I was sure that there were reports of it but when I called the police station, no one had mentioned anything. It was not a shooting star.
