I have seen you yours in the past and they were always very tiny very far away in the sky this was very close to me like I said it was lower than the building in front of me so it must’ve been about 25 stories high which is probably just about 300 feet off the ground it was very close proximity I have never encountered something like this it was absolutely beautiful I was waiting to hear the bang but I never heard anything I was unable to follow it because I had an obstructed view from one of the buildings in front of me which means that it got even closer down to the ground but I never heard it fall

Remarks
It was one of the most magical things I have ever seen it was very close to me just a few meters a way lower than the building in front of me looking like it was about to hit the ground. There was no smoke but it is night time from what I can see it look like a big ball of fire falling from the sky but it was so very close to me the tail sparked and says old and was similar to a firework but it wasn’t a firework it just had the same affect I can’t really explain it I was talking on the phone and I lost my breath
Terminal flash

Yes
Remarks
It came in and out like it was weaving through a wormhole it was very strange the way that it appeared and disappeared and appeared and there were little flashes coming off of the flash it’s self
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
There was fragmentation from the end of the tail sparking off as it fell toward the ground and the fragmentation fell towards the Hudson river and towards the west
