| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The streak brightened along its short arc, terminated in a distinct bright blob-like flash, which was visible only for a moment. I did not perceive any fragmentation. The sky was dark, I saw only white, heard nothing. This was in New York City, not far from a major highway, and there is always some traffic noise. |
