Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks It was glowing through fog it got a little brighter near the end. It glowed green consistently seemed large in the fog, my best guess is it was a meteor, biggest shooting star I've ever seen or at least the closest. I saw a few very small pieces come off near the end but they didn't glow just kind of trailed off, barely noticable if you weren't looking closely at it.
