| Remarks | It was a VERY brief event, I wasn’t even able to get my foot to my break to observe it any further before it had trailed off without any serious explosion. It left a green hue in the sky briefly while it was there but not a true “tail”, almost the color of the northern lights and I’d say the same intensity as well for such a small speck. |

| Remarks | I’m hoping this means what I think it means- I saw a bunch of sparks flying with it before it disappeared, this happened before getting anywhere near hitting the horizon in front of me. I described it to my friend as a firework coming in from outer space without the final explosion. |
