Remarks It descended strait down south of me and a little left of/and as bright as the quarter moon. The entire descent was bright then fragmenting into 4 or 5 pieces going different directions burning out just above the horizon. It was greenish white similar to the Perseid meteors, just a bit brighter than usual.
