Sky was ultra clear and the moon was bright as can be beautiful night I was looking in the sky when I focused on a bright (what looked like a star) or close airplane with lights on coming straight at me (that what I initially thought) but at split second it moved gracefully across sky turning colors for a good 3 seconds. My friend saw it with me. Freaking amazing! Ultimately blowing up at treeline

Observation

Remarks
Started in sky look just like a star. I was looking right at it at this point. I must have looked at it at just the right point/angle because it then zoomed across sky. A bright star color changing Dark green to bright green to whitish at break up. It seemed to pulse twice at end (it changed speeds) all while throwing a tracer that thickened in end with flash.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Disentigration occurred at end with white flash like it was hitting force field. With speed changes it seemed to throw fragments (tracer thickened)
