Remarks
Kind of reminded me of a falling part of a firework. The trail was not the most memorable part and I don't remember a destiny tail but the only reason I think I recall seeing one is because I initially thought firework.

Yes
Remarks
I'm not 100% sure I understand what fragmentation is but if it has to do with the light kind of sparkling like a firework would falling from the sky. That is similar to what I saw but much bigger and brighter.
