| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It first appeared as a bright green dot, seeming to travel directly toward us, then it suddenly veered to the right on the trajectory I described in the previous questions, rapidly growing larger in view and radiating two very bright green lights before it disappeared. The leading globe of light was larger than the one that closely followed it. The halo of green light that surrounded both appeared to be very large, much larger than any shooting star I have ever seen. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | There were two bright green lights traveling closely together, the first larger than the second. |
