| Length | 12° |
| Remarks | Please refer to the video: The bolide exploded, only a small amount continued the movement for a short angle. The white wake persisted for some seconds while the green train persisted longer. The white train turned into smoke that persisted for more than two minutes. There was very little wind, so the persistent train was not crumbled so much. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Please refer to the video: The bolide exploded in only three frames of the video. In the moment of the highest brightness it had approx. - 7 mag. The flash of the explosion was observed visually by me while I missed the sight of the meteor. The video does not show fragmentation allthough the limiting star magnitude of the camera was ~ 8.5 mag. |
