It was the brightest emerald greenish color I've ever seen. I've seen quite a few fireballs and this was brighter than any before. It was to intense and beautiful.

Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Just before it disappeared it made a flash. Almost looked like it was shot down or destroyed in some way, but I don't think it was. That's simply what came to mind when I witnessed it.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
It broke up in several different pieces. I didn't count but Id guess 5 or 6 probably.
