Fragmentation
Observation	Yes
Remarks	The fireball itself has many colours and a long tail of blue and green light. The ball head was like revolving on its axis as it was coming down and that way it was revealing all the colours. It actually dropped on an open space/field on 52 street SE by 61 Avenue SE traffic light in Calgary. I went to pick my wife from work and I told her to let us go and see what it is but she was scared because of a similar event in a movie “Raising Dion” we watched on Netflix. I had no option but to drive her straight home.
