| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 1.2s |
| Length | 18° |
| Remarks | The train was very bright, fattening toward the middle of the "stream" - almost brighter than the meteor itself. The train visibly sparkled and "burned" with little bits coming off the trail, almost comparable in effect to flames licking up from a campfire. Very bright white/yellow in colour |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | At first appeared as any other shooting star, but about halfway through it course began to grow much brighter - brightness increased to crescendo, object still visible for a moment afterwards but much dimmer than the trail now, with "embers" flickering in the objects wake |
