After it exploded, I could see a long trail of smoke. It was very calm.
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
The light was low, and heading DIRECTLY towards me. I thought it was a plane. As it got brighter and brighter; I thought planes getting closer and closer. Then the bright light gave out and saw red debris flying down. After it broke apart I had a hard time believing it wasn't a plane. I called it in to police non emergency line. I have pictures of the smoke trail if interestes
