| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It flashed bright, then got less bright but then flashed bright again. Then another appeared, so that there were two fireballs moving and then they both faded out. It lasted about 6-7 seconds in total. Seemed like forever! |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I couldn't tell if the first one split off into two or if a second object appeared. It looked more like a second object appeared next to it, about a fingers with (at arms length) apart, on a similar trajectory. The trajectory was very odd. At first it looked like it was going horizontal, but by the end they were both moving almost vertically down. major curve! |
