Awesome! Immediately thought of space junk since there were so many fragments but who knows. This was the second of two sightings within approx. 15 minutes of each other. Our location seemed to be between the two as the first appeared to go down from right to left and the second one ( this one ) appeared to go down from left to right. Both were very bright, brightest I have seen.

Remarks
It was in fragments when it first appeared. Approx. 4 to 6 closely grouped fragments but they were far enough apart to differentiate. First time witnessing a meteor ( or space junk ) with fragments.
