Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks I saw a bright white/ silver object falling/shooting in the northeast sky around 8:58 PM in Moss Point, Mississippi. It looked like a shooting star at first, but bigger brighter and seemed to be exploding. The main part stayed white, but small orange fragments appeared all around it . It lasted about a second or two, then everything disappeared completely. There was no sound, just a quick flash with little orange pieces breaking off before fading out.
