The object grew extremely dim near the end of its flight, so I could not tell if it was breaking up or not. It also disappeared behind a distant building near the end of its flight.

Remarks
It was a glowing trail the same color as the fireball itself, just a little lighter. It dissipated quickly as the object moved across the sky.
