| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I did not see a flash from the fireball. I saw a flash, like a distant lightning flash, almost immediately after the fireball dropped below the tree line. It COULD have been a coincidental lighning flash but the skies were very clear, perfect for stargazing (the reason for me being outside at that time). |
