Remarks It was a massive ball of light traveling at a insane speed. The trail was glowing brightly, the thing itself was huge. It was almost as if it was in slow motion for a few seconds then sped up and disappeared into the night. Kinda disappeared like one of those Star Wars traveling at light speed. Millennial falcon or something. Also I’m not sure how to size with degrees, but it was close and big.
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks When it disappeared, it disappeared midway through the sky, I did not see anything follow threw. Like it the big ball disappeared I’m thin air, when into some kind of portal. It did-not look like it crumbled. It more looked like it was going so fast that it teleported or something. Like I said kinda disappeared like one of those Star Wars ships.
Fragmentation
Observation No
