| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 1s |
| Length | 10° |
| Remarks | I don't 100% remember; it was kind of like a glowing smoke trail, so I guess it was a glowing train? It looked like a much larger, brighter version of meteors I've seen during meteor showers. And the head seemed to burst right before it disappeared. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Right before it disappeared, it got really bright and seemed to break apart. (But I didn't hear a sound like an explosion.) |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It seemed to break apart, almost looking like a five-pointed-star shape (though that's probably just how my mind organized the image), just as it flashed, right before disappearing |
