| Remarks | First it was a grey to dark grey trail of smoke once the fireball disappeared, the wind blew the trail a very long way, stretching it across the sky (def. not a cloud or airplane trail as it was too low). The trail gradually turned into a white cloud-like smoke over the next 20 minutes as it was stretched across the sky into the evening. |

| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It looked as if it broke into 2 pieces in midair....falling out of the sky. I seemed fairly small. As I scoured the internet for hours trying to find out if anyone else saw it too but there were ZERO reports, news, social media, etc. |
