| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ronald B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I first saw a flash beyond the top passenger side corner of my windshield, I had time to crane my neck and see subsequent bright flashes, a tail (train?), and a terminal explosion. I know it took several seconds because I had time to react you the flash and crane my head to see it better. |
