| Duration | 2s |
| Length | 20° |
| Remarks | Glowing trail, like a slow shooting star, staying with the fireball ~20 degrees from the point of light |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Unknown |
| Remarks | Just as the fireball reached the horizon (mountainous area), there was a flash that would be consistent with what would be expected had the object impacted behind the mountains. The timing was impeccable, honestly, and the flash consistent with the size of the object (not too bright but bright enough to suggest an impact, which of course did not actually happen). |
