| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I live on the 47th floor of my apt. A very bright flash (what seemed like a flare) went by and I noticed it and it very quickly fizzled away. It almost went "limp", like a flare that shot off then became a dud and disappeared. It was so fast then it just fizzled away, just as quickly. It was beautiful and so bright! |
