| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Looking north AFTER the first realization of the flash--which WOKE ME UP--, I then saw MORE flashes, originating east of my position. I did not actually see the fireball, only the flashes which were very bright. I would conjecture that the "more flashes" perhaps the final one could have been the terminal flash... |
