| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It broke apart once as I was tracking it with my eyes just before it crossed through the light tree cover, and it broke again just before I lost sight of it behind the buildings. The fragmentation appeared orange/red/white/yellowish. The colour green intensified greatly in between the breakups. From exactly where I was standing during the duration of my sighting I took a compass reading on my iPhone and approximate it was 106-108' East where i lost sight of it in the sky. |
