|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 2s |
| Length | 20° |
| Remarks | What i saw seemed to be ascending with the train appearing to originate from the center of the fireball. It's difficult to describe, but what i saw was a bright reversed "shooting star' with the area of color (bright red) fanning out equally on both of the train that faded in color from red to reddish orange, orange/yellow to light yellow, white and then faded out completely. The tail faded as the fanning color was changing color, fading and getting smaller. The area of color looked almost like a beta fish tail. What stuck me was hpw large & bright this was. |
