| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It started like a normal shooting star, looking similar to a satellite moving across the sky, then a flash happened and it got bigger and bigger. The meteor slowly (enough time for me to get the attention of 5 other people to look up) went from what looked like a normal shooting star, to a ball of fire shooting across the sky. It was very colorful and changed colors as it went across the sky. Greens, blues, light purple, orange. It had a long tail as if it had a sparkler following it. Lots of little flashes like someone was taking pictures with the flash on, but from a distance. |
