| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I wasn’t watching the sky. I was looking down at my phone. The initial flash when it appeared was so incredibly bright it would have been impossible not to see it! So happy I saw this by chance! |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It started with a bright flash then streaked across for a second or two and seemed to get brighter before flashing out. Like it was stopped by something in the sky I couldn’t see. Like it hit a wall, got brighter and changed color and shape briefly then flickered out |
