Remarks The event started as the usual shooting star, white to yellowinsh hues. Increased in the brightness rapidly. It was at a distance, but object was sufficiently large that we could clearly see it burning into a bright green/bluish hue. It quickly tapered off. Unsure if there were trees in the horizon. No sound, but it was big enough to be seen burning with the object naked eye. My friend thinks he saw the tail having a redish hue. I didn’t see said hue (was focused on the head).
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks No fragmentation that we could see, just a very intense bright green but off. The object became apparent for a second, so possibly an explosion?
Fragmentation
Observation Unknown
