The blue light was extremely bright and lit up the whole sky and then slowly dimmed but only slowly all together I viewed it almost 10 seconds

Part of the bright blue remained bright blue until I guess it hit the ground or until I could no longer see it but smaller parts did break away from the bright blue part and went fell below the bright blue part and faded almost instantly once they broke away
