At 22:40 I was outside in my back yard when I noticed a light that was brighter than a star moving. The light, which appeared in the southwestern sky moved slowly, the way a passenger jet moves across the sky. After about 30 seconds the light suddenly got brighter as the object broke into two pieces. It was like witnessing a crash. At that point both pieces appeared to be burning up with a red and orange color as the object broke apart into tiny pieces. The best description is a firework in slow motion. It was something breaking up as it entered the atmosphere, like a satellite. Over a period of 50 seconds, the object broke apart trailing red light as it moved across the sky in an Eastern direction.
