|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 2s |
| Length | 30° |
| Remarks | The rain was basically just a glowing ghost of the actual Meteor except for where the Head expanded suddenly and gave off debris sort of like sparks and then a smaller continuing head Bounced Upward and curved, continuing on a higher trajectory and faded out of sight, what was odd was that this meteor was a sort of "Cadmium reddish color", not "Orange or yellow",.....it had a distinctly "Cadmium Reddish color to it that faded out as it disappeared. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | when it entered the atmosphere it seemed to move slowly but picked up speed, it seemed to explode as it moved west. Just past the middle of it's flight, it brightened and expanded in size, Spit out a smaller head which flew further west but curved upward as it continued and then faded out of view. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | As it exploded it sent some debris out of the explosion as "SPARKS" ( best as I can explain ) ( sort of like a very tiny roman candle but not that explosive) then the explosion spit out a smaller meteor that traveled onward "westerly" but on a more upward path on a curving trajectory "not straight".....Get it?.....it was going straight before the explosion but the smaller continuing piece that kept flying flew upward in a curving trajectory as it kept going west.....There I said it. |
