Remarks
There were six adults that all saw this at the same time. We were on our driveway watching an outside movie. The trial reminded us of something you’d almost see on a Roman candle firework. Kind of a glittery die off/fizzle out.
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
It looked like a bit of a flash of a fire. Like a much closer and more intense shooting star.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
It seemed to just flash and then a quick glitter (which I’m guessing is fragmentation) and then it was just gone.
