| Remarks | It was through the trees which had no leaves so it was slightly obscured for me. There was a very bright flash, sudden and blinding like a lightning bolt but not orange/yellow not white, then I saw the orange trail as it fell clearly in many pieces. I was indoors with closed windows in and ICF building, so heard nothing and did not have a clear enough view to see if there was a smoke trail. |
