Dark matter-deficient galaxies (DMDGs) discovered in the survey ofultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs), in apparent conflict with standard CDM, may beproduced by high-velocity galaxy-galaxy collisions, the {\it {Mini-bullet}}scenario. Recent observations of an aligned trail of $7 - 11$ UDGs nearNGC1052, including DMDGs DF2 and DF4, suggesting a common formation site andtime, $\sim 8.9 \pm 1.5$ Gyr ago, provide a test. Hydro/N-body simulations arepresented here with initial conditions for colliding satellites tailored tomatch the observed UDGs in the NGC1052 group, supplemented by galaxy orbitintegrations. We demonstrate the formation of a trail of $\sim10$ DMDGs,including two massive ones that replicate the observed motions of DF2 and DF4.The linear relation, $v=Ax+v_{0}$, conjectured previously to relate positions($x$) and velocities ($v$) of the aligned DMDGs as a signature of the collisionevent, is approximately obeyed, but individual DMDGs can deviate significantlyfrom it. The progenitors whose collision spawned the trail of DMDGs survive thecollision without, themselves, becoming DMDGs. We predict one progenitor islocated at the end of the trail, testable by observing the difference betweenits stars, formed pre-collision, from those of the DMDGs, formedpost-collision. By contrast, stellar ages and metallicities of the DMDGs arenearly identical. We further offer a hint that the tidal field of host NGC1052may contribute to making DMDGs diffuse. $\Lambda$CDM simulation in a 100 cMpcbox finds our required initial conditions $\sim 10$ times at $z<3$. Theseresults indicate current observations are consistent with the{\it{Mini-bullet}} scenario.
