| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Christian C |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | There was a huge trail of smoke left from the blue fire tail that carried off into the wind of the upper atmosphere. The trail lasted roughly a minute or two before dissipating. After the initial Shockwave occurred I did hear a residual Shockwave. Not sure if that was one of the fragments or an echo as I live on top of a mountain. |
