Remarks Glowing train with white light
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks The green light flickered brighter until it suddenly grew into a huge ball of very bright green light, to the point it hurt my eyes momentarily. I'd describe the color as vermillion, like the aurora borealis. After the flash, the light disappeared quickly like a match that's been put out by two fingers.
