| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 2s |
| Length | -1° |
| Remarks | first off, I didn\'t know what I was seeing so I didn\'t pay close attention to the train. Just the fireball and the fire \'droplets\' coming off from it |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I thought I was seeing some sheet lightening because the whole sky flickered with light. Fragmentation, I assume, was the fireball dropping chunks of fire as it passed by in a downward ascent. I thought it must have crashed closeby but I saw no signs of impact or explosion |
