Remarks	Sitting on 3rd floor roof deck, saw what I thought were headlights coming over me and looked up at the sky to see a huge streaking fireball/meteor - long bright tail and three to five pieces at the head. I observed the light for about 2 seconds before relizing it wasnt a car and saw it for about 1 second. AMAZING!
