Not sure I did it correctly on the map. But to clarify just in case, I was facing the cornfield at the intersection of blackcherry and Prarie trail and it was like it appeared right in front of me falling straight down maybe a mile or so into the cornfield. Not sure if it came from behind me overhead or if it came far away in front of me and happened to land right in my field of vision. But it came straight down.

No fragmentation. But it got brighter than when it was going overhead before it went out and landed somewhere ahead of me in the corn field. Landed nearly straight down ahead of me.
