Duration 1s
Length 30°
Remarks It had a standard fiery trail, but then was like an extra spark or explosion happened that had its own trail. The spark/explosion fraction of a moment made me jump a little, but heard no noise and it vanished before hitting the horizon. Looked as though it was happening just a mile away and burned up right before it hit the trees of the horizon, but I'm pretty sure that was just an illusion of distance.
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks Was like a small explosion happened within the trail of the fireball...
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks Then after the explosion, it looked like there were sparks. As if there were gun powder within it or something.
