I was looking in a different location when the brightness forced my eyes in the direction of the meteor. (if in fact that was what it was) I saw two very bright flashes as it went directly down what looked like into the mountain range. It came and went so fast I can not be sure what colour it was. I remember it being white. For a while after I was expecting a \"crash\" sound but that never happened.
Very neat experience

I don\'t know what fragmentation is.
What I saw was two VERY bright flashes while the \"ball\" was heading downwards what looked like just beyond the mountains.
