27JUL2016 Greg Olmsted Pilot Hill, CA, USA appx 2140 PST +/- 20 seconds I was facing south, travel was roughly W-E, possibly SW-NE yellow/orange, no sound from my vantage point Initially as bright as a star, but was constantly fading. 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.

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!

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.
