Disappeared quickly with no flash. I was suprised how long the trail was and amazed at how close it seemed.

Remarks
It appeared quickly and I could see fragments around the meteor itself. There was a very long trail with fragments being left behind and fading. The main color was white with blue and green around the edges. It was an amazing site to see and seemed close even though I knew it was not.
