I was most amazed by the colour. Brilliant bright bluish green in colour and the brevity of the occurrence was also notable. At first thought I wondered who in their right mind would be blowing off fireworks that time of a Monday morning, but then due to the angle and speed I knew it must be a meteorite of sorts. I looked for a smoke trail but none was visible at all. It seemed so close but the lack of a smoke trail informed me it was much farther away than I thought.

Remarks
It appeared similar to a large “Roman candle” projectile, in fact it was my first thought of what it was. From its tail I remember seeing “sparks” which I feel were pieces of the object fragmenting as it fell.
