Persistent train
Observation No
Duration -1s
Length 40°
Remarks The train was so thick, I could see distinct white and yellow streaks, perhaps 7 to 10 oscillating lines of white and yellow. It travelled so fast, less than 2 seconds from almost directly above me to intersect the ploughs handle (which was low on the horizon). When it exploded the train disappeared too.
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks The object flashed brightly and broke into 6 or 7 pieces most of which accelerated away in the direction it was traveling. The definition was amazing, the explosion was as large as my thumbnail, then it vanished.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
