Terminal flash

Remarks The entire sky lit up kind of green like heat lightning or a lightning flash, and then I saw the debris trail. We were driving and the visual of the event was hidden behind the car rearview mirror for me sitting in the passenger seat, but the driver saw the whole thing.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks After the initial flash there was a long orange fragmented trail behind a white yellow glow that lasted only a few seconds.
