i had heard a decommisioned nasa satellite would be falling to earth recently, and since it didnt look like other meteors i've seen, i thought of that.

i was outside when all of a sudden the snow lit up around me, i wondered where the light was coming from. i finally looked up and saw the very end of it. first thought it was fireworks then realized it was too fast/high up and moving sideways. it fragmented into bright white flashes before quickly fading out. possibly a satellite reentering not a meteor?

Oui
