It did seem to "flare up" right at the end and that may have been an explosion. I detected a "boom" noise about a second or two afterwards, but it seemed to come from a different direction than the meteor so I wasn't sure if it was just coincidence or not.

Remarks
It almost appeared a little smokey. It moved slowly compared to most meteors I've seen and kept growing in intensity until it burned out. The flashing color intesified, as well.
