Observer
Name Kristen F
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks There were four of us walking when we saw this. All four of us had the same impression, that it was a very bright blue light we had never seen before, that it gave the impression like it was close to earth (at the height someone might fly a drone), and that it seemed like it was fizzling out in the few seconds that it was visible.

Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks There may have been a bright, circular flash at the end of our sighting. It seemed to me that it was fizzling out so it wasn't very large, but it was obvious when it was finished.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks The initial unbroken streak was fragmented by a small break followed by a short fragment or two of the last part of the streak. Nothing broke the line of trajectory.
