| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | To my perspective, it was the size of a light-pole, but much brighter. The initial light through the sky caught my attention, but the flash of light and then the disappear was really alarming. Initially, the comet/fireball was light yellow, but the terminal flash was closer to white. It is too dark outside right now, I couldn't see any fragmentation after the flash. |
