| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | There was a second smaller light adjacent and slightly ahead on the left side as viewed that followed at the same trajectory and speed and also disappeard, but without a flash, at about the same time,. At first I thought it was a low flighing private aircraft with a wing and tail light but then realized it was flying too fast and was more likely a bright shooting star at a higher altitude due to the short time it was visable and the relative distance it appeared to travel across the sky. |
