Fragmentation
Observation	Yes
Remarks	The fireball/meteorite/object appeared to break apart into a cluster of several others (perhaps 5 others) shortly after first observation (approx 1 second after first sighting). The objects each continued fiery descents along separate, but very similar trajectories for approx 2-3 seconds until they were no longer visible (e.g. in other words, they did not appear to fragment in opposing directions, as would be indicative of a blast or explosion).
