Remarks It almost looked like a firework trail, bright white and thick, low, close, then at the end it fragmented into multiple pieces, some pretty big and a small shower of smaller ones, at the point of fragmenting and just before it disappeared, it turned blue and purple hues for a moment, the fragments still appeared white
