Duration 2s
Length -
Remarks It's hard to describe the length of the train. I first caught it streaking down the sky out of the corner of my eye. I quickly fixed my attention to you I watch it burn up and could easily see the orange/yellow fire of the tail. It was long but cannot give the degree
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks It was like a yellow/orange fire that burned up. It only last a couple seconds. I've seen "shooting stars" before but those were higher up in the sky. This was lower in the sky and it burned uo quickly but had a bright flame.
