Remarks When I looked up I saw bright yellowish Fireball dim down to a red leaving three or four fragments behind it following slowly. It look like the aftermath of an explosion. The main part of it continue moving for at least another five seconds I didn't see the initial explosion but it lasted pretty long for me to be able to see what I saw.
