I routinely watch the major meteor showers and have a decent telescope that I play with on occasion and whatever this was was much brighter and lasted much longer (approx. 10 seconds) than any of the Perseids or Geminids.

At the very end it looked like one piece broke off and faded out, then the remaining piece broke into two or three pieces, all of which faded away very we quickly after breaking up.
