| Remarks | About half way through it's path, something "exploded" and went in all directions. At first, I thought it was associated with fireworks since it's so close to the 4th of July. Whatever it was continued on it's path for another second or so. The object was yellowish / white but the stuff that blew up was green and blueish. |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Green/bluish going in all directions from the object - it looked like a fireworks display. |
