| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | very faint (distant?) flash several seconds after sighting in the direction of Seattle/Tacoma. In my mind, first sight was hey meteor!, then wow at the timing of the faint flash behind illuminated clouds; because they seemed very related. The meteor seemed oddly bright and fuzzy/sparkly. |
