| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 4s |
| Length | - |
| Remarks | Glowing train, shaped like a banana shallot. A round ball at its head, then a tiny black gap, followed by the trail, which was thinner at the leading edge and tail and thicker in the middle. It then receded and diminuished. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The flash came from the leading point of the object, which appeared to be a round ball shape. Then the ball seemed to separate momentarily from the trail, leaving behind a short stretched oval streak of light that faded like someone had turned a dimmer switch. |
