| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It appeared pretty suddenly out of the black sky, and its brightness increased quickly to its high point but went no further. It maintained that brightness for most of its existence visually, the only exceptions being for the outer edges of the fireball (particularly the trailing white matter streaking behind the main mass as it sped on) and the very end of the fireball visually, where the bright white dimmed into a light green and then dissapeared entirely (the time from switching to green to dissapearing was a second or second and a half at most). |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The fragmentation was much smaller than the main fireball and the fragmentation burned up very quickly behind the fireball as they separated. They did not persist visually for long at all in comparison to the full flight of the fireball. The fragmentations were white when the fireball was white, and then light green in the short period the fireball was light green. |
