i saw the fireball from a few months ago out here on the front range @ 3:33am and it was an absolute life changer of an experience. found myself immediately bursting into tears over being able to witness something like that at such a relatively young age.

i saw it break apart into 4 or 5 different pieces of equal size as it neared its disappearance from my point of view... looked like one massive snowball break into 4 or 5 of itself on a shuffle board up in the sky... it was also not completely dark out... im sure the coloration would have been magnificent otherwise
