| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 15s |
| Length | 40° |
| Remarks | The train was a glowing streak that slowly dissipated over the span of 15-20ish seconds. It started green, then turned light blue, then white, then disappeared. It was between two tree-lined to our left and right, so we couldn't fully measure the length of the train. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | At first, it felt like a giant white spotlight coming through the trees moving fast. It then quickly turned into the streaking object we saw. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | There were a couple of bursts of light that had multiple smaller white and green and blue lights break off and quickly disappear. The fragmentation when out perpendicular to the main object rather than parallel. |
