Remarks -
Delayed Sound
Observation Yes
Remarks Maybe 10 seconds after seeing the meteor I heard a sound like an airplane which lasted about 5 seconds. My neigborhood is very quiet and there did not appear to be any planes in the sky.
Persistent train
Observation Yes
Duration 5s
Length 10°
Remarks The train was glowing but faded to look like smoke. There appeared to be sparks within the smoke. There\\\'s a mountain ridge on the southern horizon and the meteor dissappeared behind it so I can\\\'t estimate the full length of the train.
Terminal flash
Observation Unknown
Remarks The meteor disappeared behind a mountain range on the southern horizon so I did not see it all the way to the end.
Fragmentation
Observation Unknown
