I didn't know what it was. I'd never seem anything like it. I would like to know if it was a fireball. Or was it something man made? I was only outside at 4 a.m. because my dog needed to go out.

Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
I saw the light more than the fireball. I looked up just in time to see fragmentation just before the light burned out. Mostly white light. Some yellow hue.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Approximately 3 fragments breaking apart at the end of flight. I thought it was a firework but it was too bright and there was no accompanying sounds. It lit up the sky for only a few seconds.
