| The image sequences above showed
the typical progression of the fireball ( a bright meteor)
from a round head, tail elongation, and necking where the leading
'head' separated from the tail, and in this example a persistence train
that last for 0.8 second (last frame) |
| October '03 - Orionid
Negative magnitude Fireball (above) single-frame composite extraction from watec-902H/25mm
f0.95 lens video detected on Oct 19 4:47am S'pore Time. The persistent train
lasted 0.8 sec ( total time is 1.36 second) |

| SKYPATROL - captured the
fireball image with breaks but cleaner details. Notice the thin streak (
from the remains of the persistent train) and the spacing
differences resulted from velocity changes along the trajectory. (
partial structural obstruction visible on extreme left top corner caused
by roof blocking FOV). |
