This really looked close! I have seen other fireballs but this one seemed really close!

Observation

Remarks
As it moved it was a continuous flashing of multiple cascading green lights with pinkish tail. It looked so close I thought it was a firework. People walking on other side of my fence also saw this. It made no sound and disappeared north East. Since it was so low I was sure we would hear a sound but nothing. It seemed like 2-3 fragments at any given time
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
The main parts were green and as they moved, I could see what looked like the lights breaking up and other parts lighting up. I really expected to hear a noise.
