| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 0.5s |
| Length | 15° |
| Remarks | When I first saw the bright head, the tail was very short and glowing bright, as if the head was hiding the tail with its brightness. As the head seemed to burn out, the trail revealed itself to be longer (maybe 15 deg) with a smoky brown/red color. |

| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The head got brighter and brighter, then suddenly it diminished but not really in an explosion. I definitely saw fragmentation. I saw a few fragments that looked about as bright as stars. That was the most amazing thing! I'd never seen that before. |
