| Remarks | It was all white so I thought it was a regular shooting star but it seemed too thick/wide. But then around the tip, it had like red and brown flames moving around to the back of it, like a literal cartoon meteor. I’ve just never seen anything like that before. Fireball is the perfect word for it. I was thinking it was a shooting star then a crashing drone or plane and then it was just so clear what it was. I was in the car too, so I don’t know about sound |

| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It did seem to break apart now that I hear it. I think it was like the smallest possible pieces falling off and flying back though. Nothing crazy. I don’t know if it landed or not. No flashes. |
