Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks The fireball dropped down like a large, dark paratrooper with a glowing green ball on the bottom and then stopped/hung for a moment [like a stone skipping across a pond] as it fired off again and blazed a larger green flash, probably was breaking up in the atmosphere. Might have been a dark cloudy trail, the treeline made that hard to tell.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks It came down with a glowing green bottom but stopped and fired off a bigger brighter green and dark green flash.
