Fragmentation
Observation	Yes
Remarks	After seeing it, I went home to pull the security footage to get the exact time of the event. A couple of my security cameras caught the whole fireball on video. It streaked across the sky facing South, from East to West coming down at about a 35-40 degree angle. Event lasted 9 seconds and broke up into 3 visible pieces. It was bright green and when it broke up the fragmentation turned an orange/white color as they fizzled out.
