| Remarks | It was like extremly intense, green Fireworks, after a first nearly daylight-bright green flash (which illuminated the entire sky) the fireball fell as a unit for about a second, before breaking apart firstly in about fife parts, then desintegrating into hundreds of green glowing pieces. The whole process took about three seconds, and the smoke was visible for another three seconds. |
