Observation Yes
Duration 2s
Length 10°
Remarks I saw a fiery, glowing train (orange and yellow) resembling the thrust from a rocket. As the object continued, the glow still appeared as it went out of sight. I could see what resembled smoke or vapor just behind the tail end of the glow. This part of the trail appeared in the sky for several hours. I could see the trail starting to move from a straight line to curling lines as if a rocket had gone out of control.
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks I first saw a huge blue flash lighting up the sky appearing in the north sky. Looked almost like the atomic blasts I have seen on the History channel.
Fragmentation
