| Concurrent Sound | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | When it hit, it was a loud boom a few miles away. Loud enough for people inside the house to come running out because they thought the pool equipment malfunctioned/exploded since some of us were in the pool when this happened. |
| Delayed Sound | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | After the initial boom, we heard two other ones. One boom was ten minutes after the fireball incident, the other sound was about twenty five minutes after the incident. We assumed they were other fireball/meteorites, but we didn't see anything in our field of vision. These sounds may have not been associated with this object. |
| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 5s |
| Length | 5° |
| Remarks | I saw the fireball and smoke train and my friend turned around in time to see the smoke train. It was about an inch or two in length when I held up my fingers (elbow bent) in the air. I don't know exactly what degrees this would equate. It lasted several seconds, and the smoke was thick enough for others to see where it was without me pointing it out. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | As it came flying through the air it caught flame and went from a yellow orange color to bright white. It looked spherical in shape. I thought this happened on the front of the meteor though, not on the end/tale side, so this might not be correct because I did not see fragmentation coming off it. |
