| Experience Level | 3/5 |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The bright entry caught my eye, then a brilliantly bright, colorful flash occurred that then faded from a wide orange to a thinner yellow tail, appearing to be straight down but more likely (I suppose) moving away from me to the west. I thought that I saw brief black fragments at the instant of the colorful flash, but the occurrence was very bright and fast so I'm unsure. |
