| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The object exhibited a significant terminal flare, it grew from a speck of light to a ball of light that was brighter than a full moon. At the base of the descent, the object performed a smooth curve/dip before a clean terminal snap-off above the horizon. I was driving at the time with music playing so I could not hear if there was any sound related to this phenomena. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I believe the curve/dip towards the bottom 1/5th of the objects trajectory could have been fragmentation related. |
