Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks The fireball seemed to be combusting or sputtering out into several pieces. There were three or four large flashes as it broke before it disappeared.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks It was almost like a skipping stone, every time it 'hit the water' there was a brighter flash. I assume this was it fragmenting in the sky.
