I heard it was seen all over New England but all the videos I saw were from a long distance. I saw it so close I am so sure it is in the area i specified.

Terminal flash
Observation

Remarks
I saw it appear and then explode in a very bright flash and then saw it again right before it hit the ground. I saw it very close. I was driving on the highway on rte.95 1 mile before rte. 93. It was so close I really think it landed in the median about 1000-2000 ft ahead of me.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
It started to fragment after the burst of light before it hit the ground
