The tails seemed to flicker about like an actual flame. The fragments were quite distinct but only 1 or 2 had visible flaming tail-like appearance. The others were more similar to a "shooting star" shape but they were all much slower moving than in a typicall meteor shower.

When i first saw them, there were 4 or 5, they were about to converge but i could not stop driving. When i rounded the corner and tried to relocate the fragments none were visible.
