| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Unknown |
| Remarks | I was actually turned away and it was dark out. I saw the ground light up, I thought someone had a bright flash light behind me or possibly a car lights shining through the trees but there was no sound. I was startled so turned around quickly and saw the bolite, or falling star... whatever you want to call it. |
