Observer
NameDawn R
Experience Level2/5
RemarksMy daughter and I truly did believe we saw a firework or flare when we saw the green light brighten and spark out and noticed a sulfur smell, initially I was excited we were seeing a shooting star. It wasn't until I saw the news this morning that I realized we did see something. It happened as I was driving, so I couldn't get a picture or anything.

Terminal flash
ObservationYes
RemarksFast moving, thought was shooting star at first, except it was bright green, then assumed it was a colored flare or fireworks because it got brighter as it moved then sparked out and we thought we smelled a bit of sulfur odor, and assumed it was just fireworks since living in a more rural area people sometimes set of fireworks, but there really wasn't sound we noticed.
Fragmentation
ObservationYes
RemarksIt looked like a firework, like a Roman candle, saw the object glow and tail initially, as it got brighter green it sparked out and disappeared like a Roman candle or flare would. Also seemed to be a sulfur odor when it happened.
