Persistent train
Observation Yes
Duration 1s
Length -1°
Remarks Glowing train. I only saw it as it passed into my vision, which was restricted by the view from my 1992 Chevy Astro Van. It appeared to break up into several sparks and disappear, and the train faded quickly. But I didn\'t see the start, so I was only watching it during the short time after it appeared within my limited vision.
Terminal flash
Observation Unknown
Remarks It broke up into red sparks and disappeared within a couple of degrees of travel. It might have gotten a little brighter just then.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks -
