| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I didn't see it directly; I was shooting a starlapse and only saw it reviewing the CR2s (your uploader jammed when I tried sending the full res- i sent a half res jpg. The CR2 has a lot more information about location/heading/lens/etc). Polaris is visible in the video. Full video is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRlXZ-IhZO0 (bolide at 01:11). I was up at the time and happened to see the flash, but didn't see the event itself. I assumed it was lightning, even though the sky was clear, which felt weird at the time. I'm unsure about the sonic boom-- I had an audio book on pretty loud at the time. But I assume if I'd heard it, i'd _know_. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The 14-second interval/10 second exposure shoot caught roughly 30 frames (7 minutes) of persistent train twisting around. Again, I can send CR2s if you think it's important. triggur@gmail.com |
