Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks The terminal flash might have been all I saw. I first noticed it in my peripheral vision behind some tree branches, very bright, and then it burned out. My first thought: "moon?!" (no, too small, wrong direction), then "fireworks" (no, seemed too big, and nobody would be shooting off fireworks there).
Fragmentation
Observation No
