| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Almost the very moment I spotted this meteor I watched it split into two pieces directly above my head. The relative brightness it was putting off can’t be put into words in regards to the moon , it was as if lightning was flashing constantly for 2-3 seconds, which is what caused me to look up. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Constant white , light blue flashing as it came towards me initially. It then broke into two pieces and seemed to recede in the amount of light it was putting off , along with losing the tail of the meteor. |
