The meteor or other identifying object was moving at a great speed due South from our location inside earth's atmosphere. My visiting adult son from Florida was first to visually observe this object and immediately brought this to my attention as we both witnessed the object simultaneously for approximately 5 more seconds, then the sudden elimination of the bright illumination with fragmentation.
