| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | As the object burned up it's "tail" became irregular, and there was a slight, but noticeable flash as it snuffed out. It also seemed to burn out for a slight moment before coming back as a larger burning ball. Think of a larger cantaloupe turning into a watermelon or basketball. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | as it burned up, the tail changed from a somewhat uniform glitter, to a streak with a somewhat mangled appearance, but kept with within the confines of a shape, such as a lava lamp, only metal and rock burning at some ungodly high temperature. I say fragmentation because it appeared as if one of two small "Venus size/bright" fell away from the object. The changing of the tail made me think maybe pieces had broken away, or part of the object was comprised of a material that does not burn brightly when exposed to high heat. |
