| Remarks | I confused it for a possible airplane due to it moving quite slowly. After seeing the trajectory in reports today, it made sense that it seemed to move slowly since it was heading somewhat toward me. |

| Remarks | I saw at least one very clear fragment break off, with some dimmer frags, as well. There was some increase in brightness, but I didn't see a terminal explosion, I believe. It became obscured by a tree after the frag. |
