I'm surprised no one else saw this. It was incredible.

Remarks
After the bright green fireball disappeared it left about 3-5 glowing dots/balls right where it ended and slight darkness where it went across the sky.
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
It looked like a firework that just went off and was coming down. So it was a streak of green really thick too it wasnt a skinny trail. It was about 1/3 of a full moon, bright green. Then when it ended the the balls appeared and just fizzled out.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Looked like a firework that didnt move. Just bright white and green balls hanging in the sky for a full 2 seconds at least. My dad was walking out towards me and i saw it sayin g"WHOA!!!! LOOK!" Even during that time he had time to turn around find it in the sky and he saw the fragmentation. Usually when i see a shooting star i never have time to tell someone to look. This one was in the sky altogether for about 5 or 6 seconds.
