If it was a meteor and there are any reminants of it...I believe it\'s in the lot behind the Cycling Shop at the end of the cul-de-sac on Acamdemy Place.

Observation
No
Remarks
There were some people talking int he background and I didn\'t hear any sounds. I think I was in awe and didn\'t really pay attention. I\'ve seen shooting stars but this was much closer, ended much lower to the ground and traveled much longer to where I could actually focus in on what I was seeing.
Persistent train
Observation
Yes
Duration
1s
Length
-1°
Remarks
It was pointed at the tail end of the streak of light and got larger where the fireball was traveling. Right before the fireball extinguished there were sparks all around the ball. The trail disappeared slowly after by seconds. I could see the start to end but once extinguished the trail also extinguished. I feel like it exploded (meaning when the ball starting sparking) over the empty lot it was over. There were power lines off in the distance and it seemed like the streak of light was in front of the power lines not behind which made me believe it ended right above the empty lot.
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
When it exploded it had sparks around the ball of light
