| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The object was intermittently very bright. The brightest flash occurred just after the object passed out of my line of sight (still about 35-40 degrees above my horizon, but out of view behind tall buildings). I'm not sure if this qualifies as a terminal flash, but the final moment of the object's light was the brightest. |
