Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks Green meteor or bolide that shot down out west from where I was driving. The flash looked like the line created by the meteor was “sliced” or “broken” and like a few “sparks” or fragmentations fall or come off the sliced/broken part of the meteor. It’s turned a bright white and bright yellow and then turned back green as it continued to fall. It then then died out in a small flash with a few fragmentations.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks The larger fragmentations came mostly from the terminal explosions but the meteor or fireball had small fragmentations coming off the whole thing the entire time.
