| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Unknown |
| Duration | -1s |
| Length | -1° |
| Remarks | The train looked like a smoke trail to me. I had thought that a plane was crashing or a part of a plane was burning. Since the object fell in nearly a vertical line, the train appeared to form in a relatively consistent manner. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Unknown |
| Remarks | The fireball appeared roughly the same size throughout the time that I saw it with just slight fluctuations in intensity. I think it was mostly white with small hints of red at times. After thinking it was a burning plane or part, I thought it might have been a flare, and then considered it might be a meteor. It all happened quickly, and I couldn\'t tell if the fireball left my field of vision due to trees/buildings in my view or if it suddenly wasn\'t bright enough for me to see, and that\'s why I\'m not sure if what I saw was a terminal flash or not. |
