My daughter was so excited she wanted to sleep outside.

Remarks
I’m not sure how many seconds it lasted. Probably Somewhere around 10 seconds.
Long enough for our group of 2 adults and 4 kids to talk about it
About half way through it broke apart into several (maybe 7) fragments. It began white and when it broke apart it turned orange.
By far one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in the sky.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
See above.
At first it was closer to parallel to the horizon but when it fragmented most of the pieces went at more of a downward angle.
