| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | the meteor itself was a big flash (jittery like lightning) lit up my entire roof side and yard but from above(we were on the roof watching space x) and then there was a 2nd flash, directly north of us. We were not expecting it as we were on the 1st floor roof, next to the 2nd story was to our south. By the time it crossed over the 2nd story into our field of vision it was extremely bright, was slightly dimmer then a flash again not very long afterwards. It came from being blocked from our view completely to brightly lighting up our yard and roof as it passed over top, went north of us right behind our neighbors tree. And lit up the tree with light and smoke. |
