| Remarks | Upon the end of this display, which did not disappear on the horizon only directly upon the explosion seemed to be a variance of color yellow to orange and some breaks in this, not consistent enough to be one intact flame, and seemed to explode outwardly along the head and tail, instead of just a trail being blown behind |
