Remarks There was green trailing fragmentation coming off below and behind the meteor as it streaked across the sky. It was very similar to the video I\'ve seen of the Space Shuttle Columbia breaking apart during reentry, although in a much smaller scale. I didn\'t see any terminal fragmentation. The light just dimmed and disappeared.
