| Remarks | See the video I'm uploading. It looks like above the main trail, towards the end of the event, there's a small fragment that's visible & moving. At first I thought it was a digital artifact, but I just watched other videos uploaded by people and some of them show the same thing, faintly. Interesting that it is fairly above the main path - must have broken off much earlier than entering the atmosphere. |
