| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | They were quick (fragmentation) and didn’t travel too far from the actual fireball, but they were visible and lingered ever so slightly in my opinion. The fireball itself was bright flash and that almost flickered a bit and moved down towards earth, it was so bright I could see it through some of the trees that blocked my view at the end. I honestly thought I would hear something. |
