Persistent train
Observation Yes
Duration 2s
Length 20°
Remarks The fireball trajectory from our point of view was from upper right to lower left. After the fireball disappeared, there was still a long bright glowing train. As the fireball was moving, the train went from a bright white light to green than blue (or blue first, I don't remember exactly) than back to white. Lasted for a long 2 secs after the fireball.
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks As the fireball was moving, about half way, there was a big bright light flash that was white at first, but then was green and blue. We could tell it entered another atmospheric layer (sorry for my poor terminology). The sky lite up for a half a second.
Fragmentation
Observation Unknown
