I was standing inside and happened to be facing the window at the time. I don't know how long the fireball lasted because it only entered my window-limited line of sight of it just before it exploded and fragmented. There was a wind storm going on at the time but the stars were visible and it did not look like lightning. I doubt someone was playing with fireworks at that time of the morning in a wind storm. There are no power-lines within view of that window.

Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
This flash was bright enough to illuminate the darkened room I was in at the time. At this point fragmentation occurred. The color of the object remained light yellow (like an incandescent bulb) throughout.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
The meteor flashed brightly, then fragmented into several smaller pieces that then dimmed and disappeared, very similar to a firework going off. I don't know exactly how many pieces it broke into.
