I was heading west on highway M-28 in the central U.P. of MI when I saw the meteor to the southwest. The copper (oxidation/flame) green color was really what stuck out to me most about this particular fireball!

I saw 3-5 dk. yellow to orange pieces flying off of the main section - looked like sparks off of a July 4 sparkler!
