Remarks
A definite trail, observed in a dark area. The train seemed to bend like a rainbow downwards. Colorful yet transparent with flakes like mists. Could not explain the color of the train. Fine fragments. Very long and lasted a little while. Not sure time.
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
After I observed the fireball, I saw a bright flash in the sky but no object. Maybe that was it passing thru and exiting or another object. However not sure.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Little flakes in the trail. The flash was observed in the sky 20-30 minutes after the object was seen. It was a pretty blue color and quick. I thought I heard a boom but i was tired and not too sure.
