Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks it was the brightest flash across the sky i\'ve ever seen, it traveled at an angle downard and went behind the tree line that was in front of us, but we saw the flash as it blew up in the sky before it hit the the ground. the flash lit up the sky like a huge lightning flash. one of our drivers that pulled into the yard several minutes later said he had a clear view of it and that it exploded before hitting the ground. we were unloading grain at a bin site and we had tractors running so it was to loud to hear any bang or boom.
Fragmentation
Observation Unknown
