| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Flash was approx. 1/4 of the time the first it appeared. 3/4 of a sec first when it showed, then dark, and final flash that was brighter than the first part. I was out fishing, it was dark and it made enough light to cast shadows. Like a flare from a gun. |
