Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
The flash caught my attention first. I thought it was lightning, then I realized there were no storms nearby. I don't even think it was cloudy.So my mind went to thinking it was an explosion.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
That's when the object caught my eye. It seemed to fragment as it got closer to the horizon
