Remarks I didn't notice a bright initial flash, I just noticed there was meteor burning green like copper. it started off the size of a shooting star, but quickly became larger and larger. The trail at least tripled in size before burning up. The green flame went out, but I saw a red object break into two and slowly fade to nothing. It was was approxamently 15 degrees above the horizon when it was no longer visible.
