| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Very bright flash right at the beginning of when I saw it (white or light yellow), then it streaked across the sky with a tail and was a more orange color. The tail did not leave a train after the fireball disappeared though (I saw it only when I could still see the fireball, which I think disappeared when it was close to the horizon... either that or it went over the horizon and kept going). |
