GEIPAN explains the double trail as indicating fragmentation of the meteor during atmospheric entry due to heating.
Claim #22667 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“The fact that it was double indicates that the meteor responsible for the observation was undergoing fragmentation due to heating as it entered the atmosphere,”
