Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
it appeared to just explode in a very bright white flash and then it was gone except for a brief 1-2 sec. train. i can\'t say whether or not there was fragmentation because a large pine tree partialy obstructed the view as for sound i am not sure (radio was on)
