Remarks | I\'m reporting this after taking a report from one of my students (Andrew Gong) on an astronomy field trip. I did not see it myself, and he is not trained, although gave a reasonable report. Two of my students, at different locations, independently reported it to me. The flash was described as red. He did not talk about fragmentation and I did not ask him. |
