| Concurrent Sound | |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It was like a crackling noise, similar to electricity shorting out. |
| Delayed Sound | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Yes. There was a faint pop when it entered our vision and started to trail off into an eventually “boom” when exploding, similar to a firework but no echo (or just really faint). |
| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 99.99s |
| Length | 30° |
| Remarks | Glowing silver like trail that seemed to have lasted forever, again there was no light pollution to dampen our view. It started to swirl into irregular shapes until it finally wasn’t visible. |
| Terminal flash | |

| Observation | No |
