Persistent train
Observation Yes
Duration 8s
Length 99.99°
Remarks A glowing train, wider with the core object and thinning from the ascent. It became fairly close to the ground and I believe it disintegrated just prior to impact. I was fairly close to this event and checked the grounds within reason of the trajectory and finding nothing - all the while listening carefully for any impact sound (none heard).
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks A sudden bright light came up to me from behind my point of view for which I turned around to see the fireball and tail. Oddly though, there was no boom or sound until after the event.
Fragmentation
Observation No
