I wasn’t intentionally even looking to the sky, I just noticed it while walking outside in the darkness and have never seen anything like that before. There are no street lights / light pollution where I saw this and would love to know what it was that I saw.

Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
It looked almost like it got brighter for an instant and then there was only fragmentation in the path it was taking as if it broke apart.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
The flash was described in last answer. The fragmentation glowed an orangish/yellow color for maybe 1-1.5 seconds and then disappeared. It resembled the sparks you would get from shattering a hot coal in a grill.
