Persistent train
Observation Yes
Duration 3s
Length 70°
Remarks The train was long, bright white and slowly disappeared from the tail. More train was visible through viewing the experience. Meaning it did not disappear as quick as it was visible.
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks It showed more of breaking apart not like a firework fizzle but you could see bright bits break apart and slowly loose the white color.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks My family saw the fragmentation as stated above. Imagine a slow firework but not nearly as many pieces that fragmented. All bright white in color until they faded.
