| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jeffrey C |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This was definite, VERY green, no subtlety to it. This is the 4th or 5th green fireball I've seen in the last decade. I consider myself very fortunate to have seen so many. But then, I look up a lot. :) |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It wasn't a tremendously bright flash, more a soft pulse of light, is the best way to describe it. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | At the end of it's descent I clearly saw it break up into 5-7 fragments, I'd estimate. I'm very sure of this as I (amazingly luckily) happened to be looking RIGHT AT IT when it entered the atmosphere. |
