Remarks
curly train that became a straight train. I thought the flash of silver-white was a rocket sent up by a child that was now falling down - one of those pump into the sky rockets. Then I thought it might be a silver kite coming down given the triangular shape but it seemed to high up to be a kite
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
a bright silver coloured upside down triangle that made a falling flash of light
