I seen meteors throughout my entire existence but the thing that was interesting to me is how perfectly shaped this was once it was in my line of sight and the distinct factor of the explosion happening in the air with four particles that seem to break off in contain a green ember that were equidistant from each other during the explosion. I was at work when I noticed it, but I merely thought to report it in case anyone else is looking at it or is concerned or worried.

Remarks
As it appeared in my vision at around 90° I was facing the direction it appeared when it happened and the color of the meteor in question looks like it ignited in the air in front of me stretched in a long raindrop shape that was white in the middle surrounded by Orange around its entirety with a brief smoke trail while it was active and as it dropped to the 45° perspective from my vision the tip began to ignite a bright green and then it exploded and everything vanished but where the explosion happened at the tip of it headed towards the ground four distinct green embers broke off equidistantly from each other and they faded towards dark green and everything disappeared around the same time.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
When the tip ignited a bright green facing towards the ground of the raindrop shape of the meteor I saw a brief explosion and then four distinct green equally sized parts break off that turned darker green and disappeared with the rest of the light from the object.
