According to the Meteoritical Bulletin: "At about 2 am local time on July 18, 2011, a bright fireball was observed by several people in the region of the Oued Drâa valley, east of Tata, Morocco. One eyewitness, Mr Aznid Lhou, reported that it was at first yellow in color, and then turned green illuminating all the area before it appeared to split into two parts. Two sonic booms were heard over the valley."

You can read the entire write up for Tissint in the Meteoritical Bulletin.

The ground in the strewnfield where Tissint meteorite fell is hard and rocky. For this reason, the majority of specimens found consist of broken fragments. The following Tissint specimen is an exceptionally rare, almost completely fusion crusted individual:
