It seemed to have a bright white glow throughout with the light green edge but I do recall bits of red and orange at times, mostly during the end "explosion". The "explosion" ball size was larger than street lights approximately 100 feet away and appeared just above the street lights.

Yes
Remarks
The sighting started with a thin streak moving across the sky which grew into a large ball that looked like an explosion at the end. I was driving so not sure about sounds.

Remarks
After it looked like an explosion, it was almost as if it fizzled away into little particles. That part was quick, 1-2 seconds.
