| Remarks | It was SUPER bright, and then sort of got even brighter, then turned red at the tip and faded out to nothing. I'm not sure what fragmentation is, but it didn't seem to come apart, just faded. I thought it was a comet with how bright it was, but people have said the picture looks like a meteor. |
