The meteor was on a downward Southern trajectory from my viewpoint and faded out before reaching the treeline from my view. The trees lining my property are approximately 56 meters from my observation point and approximately 20 meters tall.

Remarks
The meteor faded from bright white to yellow through its trajectory before fading to orange fragments that looked like sparks. It was relatively slow moving as far as meteors go.
