| Remarks | A very bright, fast-moving glow that I think was a fireball somewhat to the south east caught my eye. It was very large, at first red and orange with a glowing white-yellow tail. As it descended, it turned blue-green, and the tail was white-yellow with some orange around the orb. As it continued to descend, it looked like it broke into pieces. I\'ve never seen anything so huge! |

| Remarks | Fragmentation seemed to occur towards the end of the fireball\'s visibility, with orange-red outlined chunks breaking off from the main orb, towards the tail. |
