Remarks	Began to glow brighter, yellow and white with blue edges, and then it sort of burst into a ball about four times the width of the tail! It flared up green and the went dim, but was still glowing and still had a tail, though shorter and less visible. I didnt see any smoke. I had time to yell, "Hey, Mom! Look, look, look!" while it fell. It appeared to fall on the opposite side of the mountains. I almost braced for a boom, but heard nothing.
