| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | At first I thought I was watching a firework, there was a lot of sparking (fragmentation) then a good size ball at the termination. I was in my car so I could not hear it. I have seen a few meteors, but the sky was still pretty bright (early dusk) and this was quite bright. Just Lucked out that it was traveling the same direction as I, and low enough to see in my peripheral vision. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | As described above it looked a lot like a firework rocket, a lot of fragments burning up behind it. |
