| Name | K. K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | THIS WAS AMAZING. I've never seen anything like it, including the biggest, longest "shooting stars" I've ever seen. I had my camera out and just didn't have time to realize what I was seeing, sadly, but it left me breathless. VERY COOL! A friend said it may have been copper or space debris for why it burned green. Now I'm curious ... THANKS! |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | At first I thought shooting star, then I thought plane as I saw green light/s appear, but it was way too fast for a plane, and then the lights changed and got bigger as it broke/ended. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | This is when I knew what I was seeing for sure, as it broke into at least two pieces, one considerably bigger than the other, both with green light. There may have been smaller pieces as well, some with green, I don't remember. It took forever to cross the sky, as far as "shooting stars" go, but it was still very quick (for human comprehension). |
