The speed and brightness when I initially saw it really startled me (driving late at night). But it was so spectacular and beautiful with the green colors I was awe struck! I had actually just told myself it was a firework for a little while because I thought there was no way I just saw a meteoroid but the more I thought about it the more I thought there was no way it was a firework (no sound, no additional ‘fireworks’). I tried my best to reflect the angle but was difficult as it was as if moved from behind me to in-front of me

Remarks
It looked very similar to one of those first works that when they explode shoot 3-4 smaller pieces off. I think there were about 4/5 fragments that splintered off and there was a little bit of extra bright light and then it all just fizzled out
