Remarks The meteor first appeared similar to others that I have seen, but the white/yellow tail was brighter than I have ever seen before. It began high in the sky and it suddenly turned into a fiery bright yellow-orange flash of light and then disappeared. It looked like a small explosion in the sky. It looked almost like something stopped it dead in its tracks. I was driving so I was not able to hear any sounds over my music.
Fragmentation
Observation Unknown
