Persistent train
Observation Yes
Duration 2s
Length 12°
Remarks It looked to be a glowing train that got brighter and thicker as it moved (70% of the duration) and then died out for a split second (5% of the duration) before restarting for looking like the first part of the trail just condensed (25% of the duration).
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks It almost looked like it flashed twice with how the train looked like but the “first” one just dimmed and relit and the actual terminal flash just had the colors I selected and it was pretty fast so I am not 100% confident with the colors I saw but I would not describe it as an explosion just really fast ending.
Fragmentation
Observation Unknown
