| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I felt that the object was very close to me, and I saw much of the spectacular break up in great detail. Words cannot adequately describe the experience I had viewing this object. I have seen many videos online of the object, but none seem to be as close to it as I was. |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The object initially flashed a very bright green over the road and near the fields I was driving through. After about another .5 or 1 second, it flashed again but this time with much less intensity. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | After the second, less intense flash, many flaming particles began to fly off of the object. These fragmentations initially started as a green color like the rest of the object, but quickly turned into orange before flaming out. The object continued to cruise along the sky before breaking up/ extinguishing. |
