So when I seen it start it was bright light blue to a white color and when it broke apart it was a bright white flash turning into a yellowish color. Almost like a torch or welder using oxygen and as they cut the oxygen off it turns a yellowish color flame. It started at 10:00 o'clock and ended about 2:00 o'clock using from 9:00 to 3:00 o'clock scale. It was directly straight above me entering from my left ending to my right so it is hard to get the angle it enter and elevation of it. It lasted for atleast 3 to 4 seconds.
