Remarks
The trail was directly over our head. Not north south east or west of us. I mean directly over head. Trail was very clearly breaking up and bright green/blue and lasted for 10-15sec. It faded away very slowly like dust. We heard a crackling bang about 30sec later. Almost like a firework but much louder.

Observation
Yes
Remarks
The object was directly over head so we thought it was a transformer blowing up at our factory. And then we looked over head and could see a trail that got a little bigger near the end like it broke up.
