| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 2s |
| Length | 20° |
| Remarks | The train seemed to hang in place and to my memory it faded all at once, but it was more than a flash - it was at least a full two seconds. The newly formed train widened as the transit continued, but the section that already appeared remained static. The wider part of the train had more colors and was turbulent. I believe I may have seen fragmentation, but I can't be sure. |
