Terminal flash
Observation	Yes
Remarks	The flash was so bright that my family members who were angled perpendicular to the fireball were able to see the light and expected to hear a large boom. The flash was big and circular (slightly smaller than the size of the moon at the time) and then a trail continued. The flash happened in the middle of when I was seeing the fireball.
