Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks It appeared randomly, but bursted into view only to then dissipate. Looked as though it disintegrated as the colors got more vibrant. As if it entered the atmosphere and burned into nothing.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks The flash was about a second and a half in out of the three second viewing window. Then upon almost a detonation, it split into tiny fragments while the main body of the object continued on course.
