| Remarks | Glowing that died as it went down, my music was in so I didn't hear anything(running) but I have never seen anything like it. I told everyone I knew, it was around 730pm(that was approx.) |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Hard to describe, it definitely "blew up". It was like a sperm shape(but straight) , the "head"seemed to fragment and explode once it hit the earth(that's what it looked like! Like it hit the planet) then the train behind it faded away like an ombre light going out until the end of the tail was gone |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The ball or head that hit the planet(that's what it looked like) seemed to explode into pieces, it was so fast but definitely amazing and big and bright so it was clear what I was seeing. I've seen a lot of meteors as I'm in the mountains a lot and it's rural, but I've never seen anything like this |
