Terminal flash
Observation No
Remarks The first light I noticed was bright white. Sounds silly but it was as if someone turned up the light meter on a star. I was running in a neighborhood that does not have street lights so I notice changes in the sky. One \"star\" turned brilliant white then flashed yellow-orange and trailed across the sky... it was stunning!
