It was an amazing thing to behold but scary at the same time.

Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
It was a very large white flash like a camera flash. I thought it was an airplane blowing up at first and it seemed like it was heading straight at me. Then the big flash stopped and a couple of yellowish streaks shot out from it. Then I realized it must be a shooting star, or that's what it looked like at that point.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
After the huge white flash, a couple of streaks shot out and then kind of looked like a fireworks display when they are fizzling out.
