I was in the car driving eastward to work on hwy 5 in the early morning - so I couldn't hear any bangs if there was any. Something caught my eye to the south and as I looked southward over Hamilton this meteorite broke into 3 or 4 pieces. They didn't last long maybe at arms length the fragments travelled about a handspan before disappearing.
