Remarks
This was a BRIGHT BLUE it got brighter as it went... the smoke trail was massive.. this was something i'd truly NEVER seen... The event literally lit up the sky for about 4 seconds... you could almost make out a round object... it was so magnificent that it took me by surprise. So much in fact that it startled me for a moment... something that should definitely be investigated...
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
The flash was brilliant in color and it honestly looked like a ball of some object almost metallic..
