Remarks The fireball was extremely bright and orange, appearing almost like burning fire. Near the end of its flight it began to flicker and looked as if it was breaking apart slightly before it quickly faded out. I did not see a single large explosion, but rather a brief flickering fragmentation before it disappeared.
