Remarks
The flash was extremely bright!
At first I thought it was an unusually big shooting star but then it kind of “exploded”. The bright streak of white light turned bright orange, then green and then bluish.
I believe I saw fragmentation happening while the flash was changing its color.
It lasted for about 3-5 seconds.
