Remarks It had a glowing train for sure, that appeared to turn from green 'sparkles' to more yellow/red/orange in color before they faded out. I think there was smoke too, but I can't say for sure.
Terminal flash

Remarks It was a sparky flaming green ball, that got perhaps 10 times bigger in what appeared to me as a blast. I could see smaller, less bright pieces continuing to shoot in the same trajectory which is what I think are fragments
