Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks I didn't see a flash, assuming fragmentation due to apperance location and trajectories. There were actually 3 fireballs all appeared at the same location on the exact same trajectory. I noticed the first one then 2 right after, within just a few seconds. The first went all the way across as indicated and turned eastward before dying out, the second two only made it about 25% across as indicated.
