Yes, there was fragmentation. This was by far the largest meteor that I have ever seen; If you will consider the moon to be the size of a softball, I would say this was the size of a ping pong ball, with a bright tail and large sparks occasionally falling off of it. It started out as bright as a bright star, and faded to the brightness of an ember before i lost it. I have no way to accurately guess how far south it was from me. It could have been 5 miles or 500 miles.

It had a long orange sparkling tale and the meteor itself was bright green. as it flew over the northerly Tehachapi mountains it split into two, one orange and the other bright green. it drifted out of view over Edwards Airforce Base still traveling east, and breaking up more and more. Awesome spectacle! it didn't seem to wanna burn out. fairly bright i the sky, but did not light up our surroundings. yes. many orange pieces breaking off and falling behind the bigger pieces. not sure if it fle back out into space or not. it disappeared out of site over the eatern horizon
27JUL2016 Robert Dibble Bishop, California, USA 21:45 Pacific Standard At least 30-40 secs Started in West over Sierra Nevada Mtns. Headed due East. Covered Arc of 120 degrees Kaleidoscopic colors.

When I first saw it I wasn't sure what it was seeing. I thought it might have been an air plane falling. Then as I watched it, it became more clear what it was. It was very bright and large. It looked like it was on fire. As it moved, it begin to have pieces break off as it passed down behind the mountains where I could no longer see it. However. when it passed behind the mountain I could still see the night sky light up from behind where it had traveled. Our whole family was able to see it. Pretty awesome and scary!

The one training was.blue green in color and the one in front had a trail of.lights like sparklers. The blue green light disappeared, but the front light continued across the sky trailing lights behind it as a glowing trail of mini lights. As they moved from right to left in a north direction they began to fade one by one. Bright like Venus star Fragmentation. Yes parts falling. I thought it was a plane on fire streaking across the sky until I saw it begin to fade one by one.

Initially I thought that it was a plane going towards the local airfield with its landing lights on which would be unusual as it is not a commercial airport. I pulled my car over and watched it traveling closer and called my husband who was driving about 2 miles from me. He also saw it. It was very bright yellowish white and became more yellow as it became closer. Then it split into 2 pieces. I then lost sight of it and drive to the top of a nearby hill, but could no longer see it.

07/27/2016 Heather Gerstl Lancaster, CA, USA 21:35 30 sec I was facing north and it was traveling W to E Yellow tail Bright as moon As it traveled closer it broke into 2 pieces. It had a large tail. Initially I thought that it was a plane going towards the local airfield with its landing lights on which would be unusual as it is not a commercial airport. I pulled my car over and watched it traveling closer and called my husband who was driving about 2 miles from me. He also saw it. It was very bright yellowish white and became more yellow as it became closer. Then it split into 2 pieces. I then lost sight of it and drive to the top of a nearby hill, but could no longer see it.
July 27,2016 Desiree keys Manti, Utah 84642 USA 22:40 About 40sec Facing west/ end facing east Yellow white orange and blue Moon Yes Heard what sounded like continuous thunder after it disappeared from sight. Saw it go from west horizon all the way to east horizon. I've seen meteor showers and this was unlike anything I have ever seen. Looked for photos online after and could only find this. Similar but what my husband and I saw was much more spectacular
27JUL2016 Dan Koloski Walnut Creek, CA USA 21:30/PST, PM 10-15 seconds W-E Right to Left facing South white ball with orangish tinged white tail Very, very bright not really Huge and moving nearly directly horizontal.
27JULY2016 Danny AWATER, CA 22:30 15-20 sec. N-S, Facing South Bright White, RED AND PURPLE IN MIDDLE, NO SOUND. moon Yes, can see 3 or 4 smaller pieces following it. It didn't dissappear and it had a very long tail
27JULY2016 John Gannon Alameda, CA USA 21:40 / PDT 30 sec Start West traveling mostly East Long tail of fire / sparks Airplane in the night time sky with a tail of sparks assuming yes, had a very long tail nope, should have tried with the Iphone tho
27JUL2016 James Tahoe City 2150 25 seconds Start: Southwest/ Stop: Northwest Both pieces were Orange and yellow, some white Half as brute as the moon Yes, and there were two distinct meteors This was slow moving dropping towards the horizon at about 10 degrees decent, duration was most likely much longer as it was steadily moving it disappeared behind the trees
27 July 2016 Donn Ledwick Saint Helena, CA USA 21:35 PDT 30-40 seconds Appeared in the southeastern sky moving east (Right to Left) Bright blue-white, then white, then yellow, the red Very bright then diminishing gradually At about 25 seconds, the object broke into two pieces one in front of the other I was in playing in a bocce ball league when someone yelled, while pointing towards the south, "Hey look!" We all stopped and looked as what could have been an asteroid or some kind of man-made space object falling back into earth's atmosphere. It traveled parallel to na d not far above the horizon fairly low in the night sky.

Omicron Draconids?? Meteor Shower El Paso, TX 27JUL2016
Omicron Draconids?? Meteor Shower El Paso, TX 27JUL2016 - Rarely Observed Meteor Shower!
The Omicron Draconids??Shower observed in the last few nights from El Paso, TX. Had a break in the clouds for a short time last nights and saw three meteor in about three minute that seem to be related to this shower. Not a lot of visual observations of this shower since first observed in 1876. Just wondering has any one noticed activity from this shower? Meteors ranged in magnitude from +2 to +3, white in color, moderate speed, duration one second or less. The trails were not long since they were up near the radiant. The Omicron Draconids run from July 6th to July 28th with peak on or around the July 17th.
Regards,
Thomas Dorman, El Paso, TX
If anyone has any observations of the Omicron Draconids please email- LunarMeteoriteHunter@gmail.com Thank you!
