| Remarks | The meteor had a bright light that followed behind it before the smoke trail was visible. It was thin and light white like a rocket would leave. Very slender and didn\'t last very long. The moment the light was gone, the smoke trail began to dissipate. Maybe a minute to a minute and a half before it was completely gone. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I looked up and happen to notice this bright light that shot across the sky and it was all colors the entire duration of the path. It began as a bright white then as it moved it was bright red fading into bright orange, fading into a brilliant and most beautiful blue then that faded into a really bright white. It was a very thin line but it lasted long. Even though it wasn\'t that long. I don\'t know what fragmentation is. And suddenly as fast as it was there, it was gone. And left nothing but the think small smoke trail. |
