| Observation | Unknown |
| Duration | 2s |
| Length | 10° |
| Remarks | It was very bright, and silent. There was a big spark at the tail end, like a firework sort of, but it was silent and didn't make a firework sound. and the train was pretty thick compared to a firework. I caught it just by accident, just barely saw it. But it sparked pretty big at the tail. |

| Remarks | There was a spark or flash at the tail of the meteor. But it happened so fast, I can\'t give too many details. The spark may have indicated a fragment breaking off, but not sure. |
