| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 2s |
| Length | 20° |
| Remarks | More of a glowing trail, and/but kind of milky/smoky?/translucent? I'm not confident in my estimated length of the train; I guessed, but "A fist held at arm's length is approx. 10 degrees" is UNCLEAR: does this refer to the fist itself? or to the distance from extended arm to fist? I used the fist, so approx. 2 fists. |
