Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks I think it was actually the terminal flash I saw first. I was inside my bedroom putting something on a shelf and getting into bed. I thought I accidentally turned on my portable lantern that is bright white and has a flashing feature. Then I thought a light had been turned on outside like a flashlight or spotlight. When I turned I saw the remnant of what I assume was the ball as well as the trail. So the degree I said I was facing when I first “saw” it was me seeing the flash, not the ball. I only saw the ball and trail once I turned.
Fragmentation
Observation Unknown
