Terminal flash
Observation	Yes
Remarks	I saw the fireball going down towards the earth and it kept becoming a larger fireball (which I assume is what is meant as a terminal flash) and then when the fireball became relatively large as it came closer to the earth it disappeared. I was in my car so I did not hear any noise from the fireball at that moment.
