Observer
Name Susan M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I don’t really know what terminal flash is, I’m guessing that means just before it disappeared. I noticed it overhead to my right when it flashed suddenly in the sky. It zoomed to what seemed to my northwest leaving a small trail of what seemed small falling orange pieces. The colour of the fireball seemed to fade to white then disappeared. Its trajectory seemed to follow a shallow angle.
