Remarks -
Delayed Sound
Observation Yes
Remarks I heard a faint rumble about 5-10 seconds after the last fireball burnt out. Nothing like a sonic boom though.
Persistent train
Observation Yes
Duration 8s
Length -1°
Remarks 3 separated trails toward the end. All glowing white closer to the fireball... smoky beyond that. Quickly dissipated against the overcast afternoon.
Terminal flash
Observation No
Remarks I first saw the flicker of a single source through my living room window, then quickly ran out front to see what it was. It almost appeared as though a jet was on fire and falling from the sky due to its forked fire trail. After a few seconds, it split into three fireballs with long white smoky trails. The two to the left burnt out first, while the third on the right trailed off in a rightward direction, almost touching the hillside. It couldnt have been more than 20 miles away from me, as the particular hillside it fell to is close to my home.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
