Remarks I saw the trail or train as the large, yellow fireball was dropping. I remember seeing it since it was very large & traveled much slower than shooting stars that usually race across the sky and are very dim. The trail did seem dark but there was yellow evidence from the fireball behind the ball and when it seemed like it hit the atmosphere it either exploded or blew out.
Terminal flash
Observation Unknown
Remarks The yellow fireball got brighter and bigger as it dropped, then when it seemed to hit the atmosphere I can\'t tell if it exploded or fragmented since it disappeared.
Fragmentation
Observation Unknown
